Do any of you guys have a cad drawing(dwg or Dxf) of your rearsets? Or even just photos of a set all taken apart? I want to start fabbing up a set, but i need a little more info on what goes into them, ie how the shifter pedal rotates, while it's all bolted up tight. Is there a bushing or something in there?
Thanks...
Here are some photos of the rearsets I am building.
This is my first time building these, but I believe they should function just fine. Basically I am using threaded bicycle pegs, an aluminum bracket that will bolt to the frame and an aluminum piece for the lever. I am going to run a bolt through the bracket and into the peg, placing loctite inside the peg so I dont have any movement. The lever will pivot on an oil impregnated bushing, that has a flange. On the other end where the lever will butt up against the peg, I am using a oil impregnated thrust bearing, to ensure the lever doesn't bind. I got these parts at Fastenal and it was like $3 for 5 bearings.
I also am going to attach linkage ball ends to a rod to connect to the splines for brake and shifter. I got the ball end linkage at a transmission shop and I believe they use these for throttle bodies.
I have not made up the aluminum bracket or levers yet, and they appear as cardboard in the images below.
Hopefully this will give you an idea.
Ive included a dissasembled photo below so you can see the order in which everything goes together.
If anyone else has any comments to improve this please let me know.
i'M CURRENTLY WORKING UP A SOLID MODEL OF THE REARSETS... tHANK GOD MY BOSS NEVER PAYS ATTENTION TO WHAT i'M DOING....
wHEN IT'S DONE, AS SOON AS I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW, I'LL POST THE .DXF FILES FOR ANY OF YOU THAT HAVE CAD ACCESS.
Paul,
I got your PM. I've got a crazy hectic work schedule today, but as soon as I can get some time, I'll export those drawings and send them off to ya...

Scrounged up the material today... Only thing I should have to buy is the ball joints. Pegs, levers, connecting rods and clevis' will all be machined by me... with any luck, I should have this all done by the end of the week, depending on free time, I'll post pics when i get it done... Starting to think I maybe should have gone with 5/16 or 3/8 plate for the levers, but we'll see how the 1/4 holds up, since that's what I can scrounge up for free....
well, gotta make a spacer for the back side of it, and then finish the linkage... the clevis on the pedel end i made myself, but I may have to buy the heim joint for the shifter tab
As far as making them to sell, I'm not sure.... I still have my fixturing, but with the way the economy is, they're kinda busting down on us doing government work on the clock...
will do.... the arm is no problem, but getting on a lathe to do the pegs is the hard part... If you can come up with something, i can redesign it to work with other pegs... just let me know...
i'LL LOOK INTO IT, AND SEE WHAT i WOULD HAFTA CHARGE.... IT DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG, BUT COMING UP WITH THE MATERIAL FOR FREE TOOK ME ABOUT A MONTH OF WAITING.... i'LL GET A QOUTE ON THE MATERIAL AND SEE WHAT IT RUNS TO MAKE THESE...
