stripped pedal bracket holes

[John Formsma]

Joe,

Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. My dad had some of those
thingees lying around for years - I've never used them, but I looked at
'em just last week wondering what they were for. Funny....

That would definitely be easier than plug/redrill.

Thanks,

John Formsma
