Source for cranked kick starter pedals

Anyone know where I can get a cranked kickstarter, type that used to be fitted to desert sled bikes and trials etc, has a knuckle at the bottom, then the pedal swings out and is sort of S shaped to clear pegs etc.
Sammy Miller in UK used to sell them , but no more.
Classic Bike guide this month has a Vee twin special with a Norton gearbox equipped with exactly what I'm after.

Try Terry Weedy, he supplied SM anyway but they were made too soft at one point and may still be.

Ditto Sam

Got mine in 2004 from Terry unplated so that I could bend it to suit????? Jesus! I would need an oxy accetalene torch to get anywhere with it. Sammy sold the same thing for a good 25% more. There is another source as I got another about 4/5 years ago that was chromed. I cant remember the name but will have a pick through my notes.

all the best Chris

Hi.
The one on my dad´s Tiger Cub Trial bike is bend and that´s a 200cc with 7:1 comp. it´s a Terry Weedy. I think RGM has one with a T160 style kickstarter.

Hi Sam,
I assume you've seen that RGM do a T160 style for Nortons? Is that no good for you?

Thanks for replies fellas,
Chris, see if you can find that other supplier if you could please. I remember talking to Terry Weedy a few years ago at Stafford, but had forgot his name. I have used 3 of these pedals from Miller on two Rob Norths and my T140 scrambler and they haven't bent yet (famous last words !)
I don't like the T160 type from RGM .
I'm after slimming down the rearsets of both Commandos (Hyde) and will probably use one of the small Brembo type rear master cyls and remote reservoir.
Chris/Nigel Hope to see you both this year at Beezumph at least.

Hi , thanks for the link, I too had tried the RGM one, but it does not fit my gear linkage , so I will try that one (the road one), I suppose that the one Norvil have on his web site are the same.......
In fact I will need a real proddie racer item, but Andover does not make them , soon as said Joe , but not now!
But I will ask to Terry the offset , before ordering , betwween the knuckle and the arm, or if someone had it , welcome to post it, just a question Chris said they are pretty hard , and Kommando said they were soft .........!

Chris said they are pretty hard , and Kommando said they were soft .........!

I have seen posts saying they were soft and bent but as it was within a short period and have seen no more I am assuming it was a batch problem and they are currently ok. But it does need checking if only by asking Terry directly.

Found this in the previous postings. Looks like a chromed Avery one.
