I dont think they are building anymore but last conversation I had with Bob Calloway is that there are parts available. This was a few years ago so Im not real sure if the numbers are valid.

Bobs number - 502-921-1868
Factory number - 502-957-1059

Altho I don't have one, I bet the players who do have a Derby would be interested in what you found out, Brian.

Thanks Don...Talked to Bob Calloway w/Derby and he said the factory bldg. is still there, but said I could make them myself, as they are not to difficult to make, they are just small aluminum bar stock that you can buy and cut them to size(or length) and simply slip them into the slot's on the Derby pedal bar and mark the bar stock thru the holes where the screws go and pull them out and drill the holes on the tabs, then insert them in and add the screws (can find the screws at a hardware store as they are standard thread)...that is the whole of what I found out...did not seem hard too make...just a hacksaw, small file and find the aluminum bar stock and screws and anyone can make them...
Thanks for everything...b0b you can close this thread...

Thanks, Brian Cool
