Hello Paul,
Thank you for the photos and information... Would the new shaft shown in your photo be available from Jim Carter or Chev's of the 40'S? I suppose I could drill my original pedals and tap the threads, unless you had a machine shop do the work? Then again it may be easier to find the hollow shaft you speak about with the grease fitting at the end... Would accomplish the same thing... Certainly better that what I have now...
