Re: Pedal box return spring

Thanks for checking.

This is strange, you say that the spring goes towards the front of the bongo when mine goes towards the back of the bongo ie the driver.

The pivot pin is fine, already checked.
It has both nylon bushes .

The thing is it was all good before every thing was changed out.

Does any one know if the pedal return spring should move towards the driver when the ...
