Can anybody asist me with this querie ?
On my '69/70 ZB there is a series of holes drilled
through the pedal bar and two holes in the bottom
of both my ZB volume pedals obviously for a bracket
to make it a bar mounted pedal. Now what I want to
know is ,was this part ever made as I never saw one
whilst as a rep for ZB guitars back in the '70's
and does anybody have a photo of one ?
All the best Frank Bloomfield. Corfu

To my recollection, the bracket was just a small rectangular plate approximately 3/4" by 4". I gave my ZB pedal away to a friend many years ago who needed a pedal. Wish I'd kept it now.

Hallo Ken
Nice to hear from you ! I thought it must be something like that, I've experimented with one
made from a solid piece of aluminium and a plate
to see whether it made it easier to use, not sure
at the moment as the angle of the pedal is much more
acute than if it's on the floor, see my drawing !
Hope all is well, Oh, don't be too critical of the
drawing,it was only an experiment !!

Hi Frank - you are virtually there with your mod. Hope you are well in sunny Corfu. Winter's just on the horizon over here - getting cold already.

Hallo Billy
Many thanks for the photo, it's not all that complicated
as I thought.Our neighbour Mario has all the gear I'll need to make another prototype so I'll let you
know how I get on.
All the best
frank. Corfu

Frank - the one that came with my pedal just had the 2 screw holes to attach it to the pedal plus a further hole at the end to drop a mounting pin through on the bottom part of the pedal bar. It doesn't need to be complicated. Just a bit of 4" x 1" steel plate.

Hallo Ken
Your right, it has'nt got to be complicated but I
did'nt know what it looked like so I guessed it,thanks to Billy now I know. If I had access to a
workshop like I had in the Prison I worked in they
could be made in about ten minutes however this is
Greece, Ho,Hum !
All the best
Frank. Corfu
