I'm sure this has been asked to death, but I have a late 60's Sho-Bud 6139 with 3 pedals and 1 knee. I want to add at least 2 more knee levers and have (I think) most of the parts- or maybe I don't.

I have the rods, allen tuning keys, barrels, and teardrop bars. Two of the racks (above the ABC pedals) have the little 10 hole rod guides (and one doesn't).

How can I attach these? Or do I need additional racks/parts? Sorry for the ramble. I'm totally new here and my other steel is a Carter starter so I'm crash-coursing rack and barrel Sho-Buds the past week. Thanks!

Thanks Michael for the response. I just received the guitar and in the case was a box of knee levers and barrels that appear to have been made by you. The quality looks amazing and it seems there is just about enough stuff to add these.
