Heads up Loopers..
« on: June 05, 2026, 02:11:14 PM »
The Kid is doing a restoration of an old Eldo, and the footpegs look like cheese. All a guy would have had to do is stand on these bad boys and a crash would be in your immediate future.  :evil: Better pull back the rubbers and have a look.

I had a T3 footpeg break while standing. Just resulted in a very quick sit-down, no crash. Replaced them both. Good to inspect.

I've never in 20 years of doing this professionally seen any as rotted as those. Not even on old Loops that looked like they came out of a swamp.
