I need two bell cranks for a JCH. Anybody got any to spare?

Lynn Stafford has a JCH D-10 for sale, he might have some spare parts.

(scroll down a bit to see the JCH)

The crossrods on a JCH are probably standard 3/8" square, so the crossrods of most brands should fit.

I heard JCH was a reverse engineered zum. Maybe they would fit

Best I remember the swivels that attach the pull rods to the bellcrank are very similar to GFI. I think I used a few of the GFI swivels on the one I had. Maybe GFI bellcranks would work in a pinch.

I'm resurrecting this old thread as I have just acquired a '91 8+9 JCH.

After having moved things around in the last few days, I found one Emmons 14-hole BC and maybe two early LeGrande 4-hole cranks.

I like the JCH ones best: those old Emmons BCs have that awkward horseshoe-shaped spring clip - I can't deal with those.

I'm interested to read that GFI parts might work. I have almost everything I need, but I prefer raising both Cs and raising-and-lowering both As. I'm three rids/BCs short.

Hi Roger I know the JCH cranks are steel like the Emmons and GFI but if you don't have any luck with those I make some out of Aluminum that would work.





Good luck
Barry

They look nice, Barry! Do you also include the collar through which the rod goes?
