Greetings all,
I am installing a vertical knee lever on my '77 Loyd Green Model. It's going on the left knee.
The parts came from Micheal Yahl at psgparts.com.
Am wondering if anyone else has done this install?
Honestly, I could use some coaching before I go drilling holes in my LDG.
Will post some pics tomorrow.
Thanks |

Hers mine on a Super Pro. I installed mine also. I had to do a modification on mine so the lever would be low enough to make it work for me.

Thanks Kevin,
I finished the install. Had to cut 1/4" off of the cross shaft so it would clear the knee lever next to it. Also, the connector with the two swivel connectors had to be cut and one end tapped, to get the length to be correct. (finally got to use the tap and die set my Dad left me). It took a few adjustments but now its working well.
Michael Yahl was very helpful in getting the parts!. On the tear drop levers he sells, there is a small allen screw for height adjustment. The original levers on this Guitar don't have them. Here is a before and after pic.

Thanks Dick,
It was fun. The actual install went pretty quick...but it took hours of placing the parts in different scenarios and to finally decide where everything went. Here is a pic of the cross shaft.
