Does anyone make a 5/16 round shaft[sho bud size] bellcrank that is a straight, simple in line design?. Like the Bud Super Pro bellcrank, except made for use with a round shaft. In other words designed to be used with a 90 degree bend and a retaining clip or spring??.. I have seen these for hex shafts, square shafts, and have seen round ones for 3/8 shafts [MSA, Marlen, Dekley], but cannot recall a plain 5 hole bellcrank for round 5/16 shafts.. I can get Sho Bud style 2 hole pullers, but would prefer to go cheaper for what I have in mind.. If anyone is aware of a bellcrank that fits what I am looking for, please let me know... bob

Sorry to not answer...but are you trying to add more pulls than your changer is capable of?

no. not at all.. The steel only has 3 and 3 at present.. I will be adding 2 pedals and 1 knee.. All three pulls are single string pulls.. plenty of room!...

Bob, the ones used on the Simmons guitars might work.

They are pretty simple, it wouldn't be hard to make some like that.

Bob, All you have to do is ask, my friend, and you shall receive. These are made of one piece steel, and will accomodate up to 1/8" pullrod rod. The second hole in these particular two, are threaded for a 10-32 ball joint, like for vertical knee levers or LKL knee levers. But I have a stash that are not threaded, too. Ah-ha!! Email me if you want.



Smile

Thats pretty much what I am looking for James, thanks.. I will take inventory of needed parts to convert my "new" Pro I to 5 and 4...
The main reason I wanted this type of bellcrank is because I will have 2 easy lowers on pedals 4 and 5.. One string each.. I was hoping to find something like these as its hopefully cheaper than using 2 hole pullers.. I shouldn't need them for the changes I have in mind.. I will be using nylon hex tuners on some of the lowers at first, and may convert the entire steel,, not sure as yet.. The seller told me it is very tuning stable as it sits.. Says he never has to touch it at a gig... Sent you an email about the levers..... bob
