Has any one any experience or recommendations with rebuilding the standing peddle assembly and master cylinder as fitted to my 1970 berlina. My peddles feel a bit wobbly and lack the precision feel that they should have. I believe that the pivot points can become elongated and need rebushing. I could attempt to do this myself as I have a metal lathe and basic turning skills but would hate to compromise saftey. I also presume that the master cylinder could be rebuilt as part of the refurbishment.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

cheers

Although it is not the easiest job (not the hardest by far either) to remove the pedal box and standing pedals but you will have to remove the box unit and pedals to check them anyway. It may be easier to then replace the pedals rather than try and re-bush the old ones.

I have a few pedals and other associated parts in my collection if you get stuck.
