I looked through my magna box and had maybe 8 lefts and 1 right...and all were junk...that should tell you something...
Magna pedals have axles that are peened on the end. Not able to disassemble and replace bearings or axle. If you grind off the peened on washer there is nothing to reattach it to. Torrington and most vintage pedals have threaded end races so everything can come apart and be serviced. I have a bad axle so the simple fix is to replace the entire axle assembly. Stupid and cheap set up.
Magna pedals with the round end reflector have been reproduced a couple of times with varying success. I have the square end plates. Either style axle assembly is usable. The hard part is finding one!
They are actually cheap pedals. They just happen to have the look. I also can't bear to junk what parts I have!

trust me, I know they are cheap pedals, that was kind of my point...over many years of buying parts trying to put good pairs together, I end up with a box of junk..
The problem with trying to substitute an axle that can be serviced is that the bearing end nut sticks out. That is why normal pedals have a bulge on the end plate. The Magna end plate is flat to hold the reflector. I have an idea how to get around it but am trying to decide if it is worth the effort.
Thanks Sean
