I was cleaning up my brake and clutch arm and brackets the other day. When I removed the brake pedal the brake pedal hub spring insulator (a white plastic cylinder with a flange end) crumbled into a number of pieces. I got out two of my trusty parts catalogs and, holy moley, the replacement part (B5A-2481-A) costs 26 bucks plus shipping! I had an old Kodak film cartridge container lying around and its almost exactly the right diameter. I measured and cut it to length, made a plastic flange from my supply of Pedal Hub Spring Insulator sheeting (margerine container lid), and "Bobs Your uncle" it worked well. The black Kodak container seems to be better quality plastic than the white Fuji film container.
