I'm sure it's been talked about here, but my searches couldn't find anything. How hard would this be to do? Anyone done it?

I have 9 pedals on my D12. Would it be possible to add the hardware and use the existing pedal #4? I don't play the C6 at all, yet. Any input would be awesome!

I took bell cranks and pull rods off of the C6th neck of my MSA Classic D10, and used them on the E9th neck. It got me what I
wanted out of the E9, but kind of crippled the C6 neck. It's really not that hard if you don't mind putting in the time, and you
know how to adjust everything.

And you can always make or buy more parts.

That's along the line of my thinking. I need to learn to adjust things anyway. I might ask for some photos sometime if you don't mind. I'll bet I can find parts if I tried...
Thanks for the input!
Blessings,

You can probably get the parts you need from either Tom Bradshaw http://www.songwriter.com/bradshaw/index.php or Jim Palenscar http://www.steelguitars.me/

The installation shouldn't be difficult, since the mounting holes for the cross-shafts etc are already there in the frame of the guitar. Ditto the pedal rack.
