Yours too, huh?

My '89 100Q's pedal came off last spring. After a couple of attempts
to get it back on, I gave up. I no longer notice it's missing.

I think the problem is that there is a little metal springclip that
holds it on. and it's broken.

It's a bitch getting in there to look, isn't it?

Only my cat shares my opinions, and her clip is still on tightly.
