Thank you, guys, for your responses. I have ordered two new foot pads from EuroMoto, and some 3.2 x 10 mm blind rivets (pop-rivets) from Accu: https://accu-components.com/us/blind-dom...VkQAvD_BwE
My '50 Panhead has gotten many non-stock parts over the years, including later model heads (upgraded to shovelhead intake and exhaust valves), a later oil pump, Sifton cam, S&S solid lifters, converted to 12-volt electrical system, electonic ignition, and so on. That's all good. But the hardware bits on my R1250 are going to stay stock. OK - she's got a Remus exhause that I bought from Pirate's Lair, and a really bright Denali brake light, but I'm going to stick with metric hardware whenever possible.
After the new foot pads and the pop-rivets come in, I'll get the pop-rivet gun locally, pop her up on the lift, and see how things go from there. This will be a good opportunuty to look everything over closely and lube the footpeg pins, and maybe even the various points on the shift linkage.
