The other thing you can do is use an actuating arm from the front brake.
If it's to small to fit the shaft then I think you can use the rear one
with some modification to the end. This is what I had to do on my setup.

| what about fabbing a linkage arm up to the shaft you already have. i had to do this with my ambo because i didnot have the smaller shaft or the arm. all you need is a stock brake pedal to cut the end off to use the splines and then just add the "arm" part to the length you need. i know its nice to have the actual part ,but this will work if you cant find the actual shaft. sam 70 ambo 02stone mgnoc#19087 Donny <donn-@bellsouth.net> wrote: Happy New Year to All, Several months ago I bought a set of floorboards that was supposed to include everything I'd need to convert my Ambo from footpegs. Well the seller's definition of "everything" differed from mine and he didn't include the rear brake crossover shaft. I contacted him after the sale and he agreed to send it, but that was 2 months ago and I've gotten no response to my most recent emails. So I've got over $500 wrapped up in these and can only use the left assembly. The bike gets some interesting comments and looks with one floorboard and one footpeg and as much as I like to be different, it's getting old. Does anyone have, or know where I can get, a crossover shaft from a floorboard bike? The difference in the civilian and police shaft is that the diameter of the splined end that the brake linkage arm mounts on is much smaller than the one the brake pedal mounts on. I'm really anxious to get this project done, so any help locating this elusive part would be greatly appreciated. Donny --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
