Hi Norris, I'm sorry, but I can't tell what you are showing. What exactly do you need?

Norris,
If the rod is falling out when the second raise is activated, perhaps a very light spring attached to the rod would keep it at the front of the slot in the changer finger ?

Now that spring idea might just work. Good thinking

I finda figured they did,how ever I put a tension spring on it and it works just fine. I have no idea what the real deal would look like that would be tuneable on the 2nd row down of end plate holes.

I am going to put this up for sale in the next day or two. I've all I can do for it. At least I got all the knee levers working. It is a gorgeous old guitar.

Norris, that is a factory ZB pull rod. Original equiptment for the 4th string 1/2 tone raise. I have some of these in stock. Another option is you can use another pull rod connecting to the singletree and run straight through the changer in the middle row of holes. It will work the same way. Shoot me an email and tell me what you need.
