9/16 thread pedal adapter for vintage dura ace cranks?
i picked up a pair of vintage dura ace cranks with the intent to use them on a bike i am restoring. only problem is that they have a huge hole for the pedal threads. not 9/16 or even 1/2". they had really old christophe toe clips on them, the hole for the pedal is about an 1" wide.
are there any adapters to go to a 9/16 thread?
It sounds like Loose Screws sells the adapter you may need for those old AX Dyna Drive arms. However when considering the cost you may want to re-think it and get some other arms. Any way you can go here:

BTW .. I have heard some talk about those arms cracking much too easily. But that's just talk. All cranks can crack if improperly maintained.

How to Pick Bicycle Parts & Accessories : Bicycle Pedal Shoe Tips & Advice
Mountain Bike Shoes
People who would like to foray into the sport of trail cycling may find it difficult to know where to begin, re buying their first mountain bicycles. They may also need some integral mountain biking accessories, such as a sturdy pair of mountain bike shoes, before they can start riding.
For a good biking experience, a biker wishes to pick the right kind of footwear.
The choice relies on the kind of pedals the mountain bicycle has, as well as the type of biking the rider wants to do. Toe-cap type pedals, which are an earlier kind of bike pedal, have now been eclipsed by the more trustworthy cleat-type pedal. A trail bicycle shoe needs to be specifically designed to fit with a bike pedal. It also must be cosy and durable, as well as have a strong sole to take the punishment of pedaling. The choice of bike shoes should also take the terrain in consideration.
Comparing Different Shoe Types
The sorts of cycling shoes, aside from trail cycling shoes, include road racing, spinning, touring, and off-road. Some shoes have really smooth and stiff soles, which are curved near the toe to optimize the foot's force. This, and breathability and overall shoe weight, are also needed for mountain bike riding. Some may select mountain cycling shoes that offer tread for traction, and recessed cleats for the rider to ready to walk and bike efficiently. The cleat system for mountain bike footwear is smaller than road cleats, and heavier and thicker than spinning shoes, sacrificing some comfort to be ready to survive the exhausting conditions of mountain biking.
Shoe Materials
Cycling shoe soles are doubtless the most serious part of the structure of trail biking shoes, as these 'transmit' the force from a biker's lower body into the legs, and in turn, into the bike pedals. These are divided into several sorts of different shoes, including injection-mold plastic soled shoes, carbon fiber and plastic composite soled shoes, fiberglass and plastic soled shoes, and 100-percent carbon fiber soled shoes. The more reasonably priced shoes reserved for newbies have soles typically made of injected and molded plastic, while midlevel footwear usually has composite materials, and the costliest mountain bike shoes from top-end makers have carbon fiber soles. Weight and cost also go hand in hand, as high-priced carbon soled shoes average at about 650 grams, and the least expensive bike shoes can weigh around 900 grams.
Apart from the shoe's uppers, other aspects to consider when choosing trail cycling shoes are the flexibility, or 'flex,' of the shoe sole. Some shoes are engineered to allow some flex in the shoe's toe portion, which is outside the cleat's pedal mount. This also allows the user to climb obstacles, or simply walk, while carrying their mountain bicycle over particularly coarse terrain. Some of the more high-level biking shoes have terribly little frontal adaptability.
