Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

I am looking for the brake pedal bearing bolt for a R51/3. Ideally, I want the plus-.2 mm to ream-fit to my worn frame.

As seen here at Salis:
https://bmwclassicmotorcycles.com/index ... -4797.html

Unfortunately, Jan at Salis does not have stock. He is doing his best to find one but there is no ETA for the back order.

BUT...Years ago, I posted the same request here on this forum for a previous R51. AND, if memory serves, a member kindly pointed me to a supplier in Eastern Europe and that saved the day.

If anybody can point me in the right direction...then I will buy them a hamburger next Tuesday !

You could try Rabenbauer.de if they have them still in stock.

My brake pedal bearing bolt was also sloppy on my R51/3 frame don't think a +2 new bolt would help
Greased it up and works just fine

Maybe enlarge the frame hole and make a bushing to fit new hole and brake pedal bearing bolt

Hi Tommy
you are probably right there. but my bolt is also worn considerably out of round so a new bolt would at least be uniform and true. that said, due to the frame wear, I will probably need to bush the hole no matter what. Short term, I'll jam if full of grease as you suggest.

I can't find the oversized repair version, but Huggett does carry the replacement axle which I presume is standard size:

Grant,
I'm pretty sure I have two never installed bearing bolts you are in need of.

Hello again Grant,
Please resend your email. My computer is staggering under the weight of my next book, this one on the BMW R5, R51 and R51/2 two camshaft engine and under the strain I've managed to lose your email. Thank you! Christopher

Thanks Christopher
I sent again.
If I had a nickel for every email I've lost...I would be comfortably well off !
