Listers and Listees,

Here is my pedal problem.? I have a a pair of Campagnolo Super Record pedals with titanium spindles.? The "S" pedal spindle was broken off a 1/4 inch inside the housing on the crank side?so standard spindle removal procedures could not be used.? Since the titanium back then was "soft",? I drilled the remaining pedal shaft out a bit and then put a regular screw drive blade into the hole.??After some persuasion, the?spindle cracked around the outer lip?and separated from the spindle shaft.? The remaining spindle came out the dust cap end of the pedal.? No bearings were lost during the surgery.?? It is my understanding that the Super Record pedals could only use titanium spindles with?different bearings and cones from the SL pedals.? Is this correct?? Do I need to search for a new titanium spindle (probably rare), an orphan "S" pedal or offer my "D" Super Record pedal for sale??? I would like this to have a happy ending.?? Replys, ideas? and /or solutions are encouraged and welcome.
