Pedal fitted to mark the hole location. The hole was drilled with a 17/64“ bit, and then threaded with a 5/16”-24 tap. (same bolt that comes with the Trap Shift Peg, or the same thread as used on the shifter) This hole could have been drilled straight through with a nut on the end of the bolt but this way looks cleaner. 4) |
