I bought 2" longer pedal rod standoffs for my 74 Bolt On. I need to ream the holes out slightly. The hole is too small compared to the original Emmons standoffs. Only a few thousands smaller. I can force them on, but it is really tight. I don't know if I need a standard drill bit or a number bit. I have a box of random bits, but none are the right size.
Thanks for any help.
Hole size on Emmons pedal rod standoff?

Hole size on Emmons pedal rod standoff?
Thanks, Mike, but I don't think I made myself clear. I wasn't asking about the threaded hole in the end of the standoff, I was asking about the unthreaded hole in the side that attaches the rod to the pedal.

My apologies George, I misunderstood obviously. I was thinking you bought a lift kit and were still using the original Emmons pedal rod connector.George Kimery wrote:Thanks, Mike, but I don't think I made myself clear.

I do not know the exact size.

Also check the end of the pedal stud for burrs. Take a file and go around the end of the stud to remove any raised burrs and smooth it up. Over years of use they could have been nicked or bumped raising an edge. It doesn't take much to do so. Check that first before drilling the connectors as you most likely will enlarge the connector hole too much and cause additional slop.
