Brake heel knob needed EV

[steven c]

 On my now running and legal 98 EV1100 I am missing the foot brake knob you rest your heel on for braking. Found braking without it leaves with not much feel. I would guess it is the same one they have used since 75 on the floor broad bikes. So I am looking for one. Even look through my own parts pile.

I never use mine. Try without for awhile, bet you get used to it.

It's on the parts diagram but you have to call for availability.

I concur I couldn't live without it.  Much easier to feather the brake action.  Are you referring to the metal knob itself?  Or to the rubber bumper that goes over it?

If it is the rubber:

If it is the metal peg then I'm not sure anyone will sell that separately.  It comes up on the parts list as:
Pin 18-67-83-50
Does not return a search at MGCycle.
Probably very easy to fabricate on the lathe.

Harper's shows it as available.

The stud and the rubber. Thanks.

 Dug deep into the shed and found one off a project a T-3 FB project I did years ago. You got to hang on to those old parts, you never know when you will need something!

Yay! Let's hear it for the spare parts pile! 

The other option, which you were getting close to, would be to contact someone with a metal lathe and see if they could turn you a replacement.

FYI, I might know a guy...

 I was just going to go to the hardware store buy a bolt and a bunch of washers but my late friend whose bike it was always fixed things correctly, OEM.
