Anyone know where I could find replacement rubber grommet?
Also, the Black screw.
I have a need for both now.
Can somebody point me to the right person/ people?
Or just hook me up with one? $$$$
Email to: bghunter2@aol.com

Thank you!

Thanks pedals 4 pv,
I have found a grommet that fits perfect and seems to be better quality, but I would like the correct part for this pedal.
i'll be calling Roland on the screw

Thanks again!

Just wondering what the other grommet you found is, and where might we be able to get some ourselves. Thanks!

Hey Guys,
Just got off the phone with Roland and the screws are $4.20 a piece.
So I ordered up a few extra to have on hand.

As for the grommets, they wanted $5 a piece and they are on order?
The grommets I found at an Ace Hardware Store are a little thicker and fit more snug and only cost $.72 a piece.
They also make the pedal quieter when engaging and disengaging which I like.
I actually put them in new pedals and save the old one in the box to keep with it for original value.

Outer diameter is 1/2" and inner diameter is right around 1/4".
(Probably 5/16" like pedals 4 pv said)
These aren't shiny like the stock ones, but they match the rest of the rubber parts on your pedal.

If you can't find some, let me know and I will hook you up.

There's a couple of Aces around here. Do you happen to have a part number off the packaging or anything? Just wondering. Thanks!

They were in a divided bin like a tackle box.
All seperated by size.
I just had to write the Qty and price per piece on the bag.
I can check tomorrow and try to get the part # for those interested.
Email me your address and I'll send you one.

That does sound a lot better.
Are they exact or very close?

Thanks for the tip. I was able to find Servalite 900-B grommets, which are a little bit larger than the ones you found (9/16 x 1/4), but they work great. I just replaced six old dried up, busted 28 year old grommets (which, as you know, serve no purpose, since the screw hits the top of the metal opening).

I have to say that I like kind of these better than the original grommets. These are real rubber and the BOSS grommets are kind of plastic-y. One thing I notice is the play is a little less - meaning there is less up and down motion on the pedal. I noticed it when switching with my hand, but you can't really tell the difference when you use your foot. And, you know, 99 times out of 100 I use my foot.

Oh, and they were $0.59 a pop as opposed to $5 from BOSS or $3.95 on eBay.

great idea for the replacement of the rubber gourmet, most of my bosses dont have the rubber gourmet anymore.

any other alternatives for the rubber gourmet?

Ok i found a grommet for my mij sd-1.
Here is the size layout.

.35 cents

I.D. 1/4 O.D. 9/16
Thickness 1/4
Groove 3/8
Groove Width 1/16
It Fit's great too.
I found the grommets at my local ace hardware store.

I called Roland yesterday and i believe he said it is called a pedal guide bushing and when i asked for dimension numbers of the (grommet)he could not find them. Surprise

Anyway we can add this to our list.
