Pedal Box Assembly

[Mark92131]

I am currently working on re-assembling my Pedal Box on my 1970 BMW 1600.  I was using RealOEM to check the order of parts to bolt in the pedals and came across something that has me puzzled.  In the RealOEM diagram Part #15 is a 10mm flat washer that sits between the pedals, but the list of parts calls out for 2 of these washers?  Where does the other flat washer go, (also between the pedals) or somewhere else?  There is apparently just enough room get two washers between the pedals, see picture, but if this is not right, where does the washer go?  www.my2002tii.com's pedal box assembly writeup shows 1 washer between between the pedals, but is using a 10mm wave washer between the head of the bolt and the mounting hole and another one between the outside of the pedal box and 10mm nut.  I may move one of the 10mm washers from between the pedals to the head of the bolt and call it good.  Opinions?

 

Thanks,

Hopefully this pic has a bit better resolution, your pedal box looks great. Looks good to go as it is.

Did you put a bit of grease on the bushings/spacers?

Spritz of silicone on the washers as well

This is a good call.  OR, between the tab and first pedal.  I'm not a fan of the stock design here, hence why I run the bearings/spacer washers.

I am hoping that IE will provide some kind of Black Friday sale, so I can buy their pedal box kit.  After assembly with new nylon bushings in the pedals, there still is some slop.  After reviewing the RealOEM diagram again, I realized that part #14, #7, #8, #9 are probably for the mechanical clutch, so now I have an extra #8 tension spring.

No guarantee the IE kit will remove all slop. Theres always some slop.

I think 1600 and 2002 pedal box and components are the same.
