I need a couple pedal rod balls. I replaced one on my 1976 MSA and it broke again. Never had this problem before. If anyone has a couple to spare, shoot me a price.
Thanks
Dennis

GeorgeL sells the complete ball joints here: http://www.georgelsstore.com/steelacc.html.

I broke a few of those balls on my 70's era MSA before I finally figured out why. If you have the ball in the upper hole, it won't screw in flush to the pedal because the setscrew that holds the pedal shaft is in the same hole. If you grind off enough of the threads so that it will screw in flush, you won't break them any more.
