what you could do is to use the bolts and everything with it and just
set it up differently. I made a picture to show how you can do it. I
dont know if it will work or not though.

the gray would be the part that holds the plate on and the plate would
go over top of it.

I didnt know that they still had the orange ones. I've been wanting to
get a pair.

It sure looks like those grind plates will work on the Jimmy C's... Try
them the right way, I wouldn't be supprised if they did work.

Oh yeah, don't buy grind plates from evan, I have been waiting for a
month or so for him to even start them...

There is a very good possibility that im wrong but it looks like on the
farthest side in the picture there isn't a hole just little slots and
thats where the plastic part is supposed to fit.

I own the pedals and yet I didn't even think of that...

Maybe you could tri attatching a peice to the grind plate so it does fit
tin the slots, like so:

Red/Green = The Attachment
Black = Current Peices
Blue = Bolts

There are pedals with grind plates built in, as well. I have no idea
how these hold up as compared to custom or the Kommando, but it's
something to check out:

why not just get the demolition pedals? they have the same pin geometry
as the odyssey's, they have holes instead of slots, and are lighter by
5 oz. Oh yeah, and they come in poo brown.

instead of making an attachment you could cut out the material between
the slots.

Ask the company you bought the grind plates from to give you a list of
pedals that will work.

Let me know if it fits, because I have been meaning to get some grind
plates, but have no access to a metals shop, and really want to be able
to but a plate.

like I said. if the slots aren't big enough for the plastic pieces, get
a file or a hack saw and make them bigger.

Why cut the pedal, when you could easily cut the plstic for it to fit...
Duh.

A while ago, I was trying to cut some platic in a shape so the grind
plate would fit my current pedals and I found when i was trying to cut a
small piece, it would just break off because the friction from the saw
melted the plastic. I think it was a differnt kind of plastic so maybe
that wont happen with lexan.

Also, if i cut the slots out of the pedals, how much would it weaken the
pedal, if at all?

Probably a little, but not anything to be concerned about, they are
solid pedals, and most others have an open hole right there where the
slots are, so if you did do it, Im sure it would be no big deal, just a
long and tedious project...

Just an update on this:

Tim said:

*I didnt know that they still had the orange ones. I've been wanting

I ordered them and apparantly the picture is orange but the pedals
arent, they were an ugly camo color.

Quoted message said:

Like I thought, they dont work. I called Danscomp today because i didnt
want to bother with modifing anything and told them they didnt work. The
guy got some of the pedals and the grindplates and realized they didnt
fit. Apparantly, nobody there really knew they just assumed they did. So
after talking to them, i sent the pedals back and they are sending me
some Snafus instead, which he tested for me and confirmed they would
fit. They origionally told me the primos were the only ones that wont
fit, four pairs of pedals later I finally can use my grindplates.
