I have them on all my Pentons, hard to find the right springs.

I would love to have another set, Got Springs ?

Thanks Raymond. Yup Victor, got springs but like you I figured they're pretty hard to find so I'm going to install 'em. I just need to find one more of the small bushings that go inside of the springs.

Thanks as always for the info, Chris

I measured a bushing the other day so I can make a few up for my next project. Here are the numbers in case you end up having to fabricate your own:

.340 I.D.
.470 O.D.
.440 Long

I have found that the foot peg springs & bushings from later madel KTM's, late 70's & early 80's, work fine on the earlier Pentons 72 & up.
