Can you put a push pull pedal bar on a LeGrand II or III

Robbie,

A LeGrande (non SKH) is 1/2" longer than a push-pull, so the stock pedal rack will not fit up. A new longer channel would need to be fabricated using the existing parts and pedal ass'y to do what you want.

It is possible to mount a PP pedal ass'y on your existing channel but the pedal mounting holes for the existing extruded pedals will show on the bottom of the channel.

You should keep in mind that the push-pull pedals from the majority of the earlier guitars are generally spaced much further apart from the later ones and unless modified they would not be compatible with the spacing on a LeGrande. A PP pedal assembly with the narrow cast pedals from the mid to late 70's would probably work best for you. Finding one is not going to be easy however, as most are being used with a matching guitar.
