Does anybody know how to change the angle of the dangle on a vertical lever on a PP?
It doesn’t have the typical adjustment screw I’m used to. I am new to the PP world and don’t wanna mess things up. Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

I made an extension out of a piece wood that is the same length and width as the lever, and it brings the contact point to just above my leg, making it very easy to engage.
I drilled/cut a slot on either end of the piece of wood, and attached it to the lever with two small hose-clamps. I put a strip of foam under the hose clamps so they wouldn't scratch the lever.
Works great for playing, but you have to remove it to close the case.
There is probably a better way but this was my first try.

Pete,
I am looking to do the opposite. I should have been more clear in my description. I need the lever to be closer to the body. It sits on my knee now. It doesn’t engage, but I prefer it to not sit on my knee. Hoping I could get it an inch or so closer to the cabinet. Thanks for your reply

Not real clear on what you mean but if you talking about getting lever closer to back apron, you would actually have to move lever brackets. If cross rod is long enough, you could move knee lever on cross rod. You would have to drill another hole in cross rod to accommodate lever. A picture of what you want would really help.

Henry,
The placement is perfectly fine. The lever hangs down too low.
It touches my knee I just need it it to fold up more so I have more room
under the guitar.
Thanks for the response

You just have to adjust the collars on your push rods at bell crank to get it up some.you will also have to adjust the lever stop down some. There should be collars on both sides of one of Bell cranks to keep knee lever from falling down. It will also have to be adjusted. That’s really about only way to adjust it.
The push pull up knee is a fixed 90% lever to bar shaft so no adjustment there.
