qmdv,

The pipe thread pedal pads were a lot easier to install on the assembly line where time is money.
There does not seem to be any taper on the stud. So with 18 threads per inch on the 1/4 pipe thread and 16 threads per inch on a 1/2 inch tread, i would think that it would take just a tiny weeny bit longer to to screw in the one with 1/4 pipe. But here I am second guessing an engineer.
