I recently aquired a Super Pro and all 6 knee lever brackets were broken and repaired by previous owner. Had to show a pic of this. I do know he was a pretty good playerbut not much of a fabricator. He sure liked JB Weld. I bought a nice mill a couple months ago and this was my first time using it so I made my own brackets. One I made with a set screw and the other clamps on the rod, I'm sure both will work fine. By the way, the 6 brackets I'm replacing are free to anyone who wants em.

Hi David
The new parts look cool, I notice they are milled for round cross shafts, are you repacing the hex shafts with round ones ?.

They are going over hex shafts and tighten up well. I would thing milling a hex would be pretty difficult at that size.

FYI, The hex could be easily made using a broach and a press.

Thanks Robert, I don't know what a broach is but I will sure find out. Punching through 3/8 aluminum sounds like a lot of pressure needed, right?

I much prefer round shaft like M.S.A did, makes tweeking so much easier, i never had a slipping problem with mine.
Did sho-bud ever do round shaft?

You can order broaches of various sized through wholesale tool co. and you can find them through google.

You first drill a hole close the the size broach you will be using than press or lightly tap the broach through the hole.
