Anyone got any old wide ShoBud pedals?. Can't get on with the narrow ones - need three.

Pity you only have three because I prefer the narrow and I would swap my wide pedals it you had eight narrow pedals.

Yes John,but the narrow pedals are a little bit longer and easier to get at on the C6th neck,i find the wide pedals fine on the E9th but a bit too close together on the C6th for the shoes I use for playing steel. Because i like to wear wide fitting shoes because I have very wide feet.

Can`t do that John because the pedal rods on the C6th would all be at quite a funny angle if I put spacers in to give the gap I needed about an inch between the pedals the pedal rods would pull at a funny angle and that would make them feel hard because they need to have a straight pull because the way they hook into the pedal cranks.but thanks for the input.
