I am building an '83 Quad and am down to the last two parts to complete it: Pedals and a brake lever. I am running one piece cranks...could someone recommend a period-correct 1/2" pedal? Are rat traps too old? I'm going for a specific look that they would be good for but if they were too far out of favor by that point I want/need another pair. Thank.

Rat Traps were 70s/ Very Early 80s. !/2" pedals seem to be harder to find.

Some pedal options.

Suntour XC2s
Shimano DXs
KKT Lightnings
Hutch
And lots that looked like the lightnings.
Also platform pedals by various makers (KKT, SR, MKS)


Hope this helps a little at least.
