Hey Guys,
Does anyone know where we could get a hold of a couple of the mast track foot pedals, for the old Mistral raceboard/equipe's?
cheers

Maybe contact Mistral but perhaps the quickest and cheapest way to get the problem would be to buy another board that uses the same mast track. I sometimes see them on eBay for a couple of hundred dollars or less.

Hey matth !
That is a tough problem. You'd be very lucky to find them. The suggestion to buy a used board with that track is the way to go. The other way to go is to find someone with a machine shop, and make copies of a good pedal. (If you do this, make extras for me.)
Here's some background. 1 1/2 years ago, our Houston fleet did a group purchase of about 20 Mistral Prodigies. Many of these had the same style mast track that you have, the same style as the IMCO and Equipe. We already heard that Mistral had always contracted out for the track parts. That company supposedly went out of business. We accepted those hulls with a promise from our US distributor, that Mistral would find another manufacturer for the track parts. It made sense, since there are so many boards still out there being used. Well, the parts have run out, and our distributor says that Mistral is no longer interested in supplying parts. We are trying to put pressure on them. I'll let you know if anything changes.
Oh, also check the shops that used to supply gear for the Aus and NZ IMCO guys. They may have some sitting around.

Oooops. PC responded while I was typing my response. There's a good chance his part works. Mistral would never sell us the pedal, alone. They sold the whole aft track assembly as one part.
