Please help identifying parts!

Mike Vallandigham · From: Martinez, CA

I bought a few black LeGrande pedals a while back and they came with these parts - I can't figure out what they are. I see nothing like them on my 1981 PP.

One thing I did notice is that the pedals on that guitar have smaller holes and axles than the ones I bought.

Any info on these parts or if/when Emmons changed the axle
hole diameter in the LeGrande pedal would be appreciated.

I bought the pedals for the '81 PP, but I don't think I need these extra parts - trying to figure out what they are.

The aluminum pieces look like the end support for cross rods - but there are no holes in the face, only then ends.
The Taped up thing is some washers that came with the parts.

Thanks!
Mike

The black bracket on the left looks like an Emmons PP pedal rack end bracket (for pre-LeGrande cast pedals w/ 1/2" axle), the two aluminum blocks on the right look like the same thing for late '60s thru mid '70s era Sho-Bud pedal rack. Not sure about the nylon bushings but they are likely related, spacers for a 1/2" axle?

Ian, nice!

For sure the black piece is the PP pedal rail end piece. I couldn't place it.

And those Sho-Bud end pieces look exactly alike, mine even have the worn circle pattern on the sides from the pedal barrel.

But they don't have any holes on the long side - looks like there's pins or screws from your photo.

Thanks for the help!!

The 4 White pieces of plastic. Look like they are pedal bar parts too.
May be out of a GFI pedal bar.

If they measure .625 OD. and slightly over 1" long. They look like the bearing/spacing pieces out of GFI extruded pedal bar. There is 1 bearing/spacer Between the end stop and first pedal, Then 2 between each pedal, for 7 pedals on a GFI Ultra S12.

May be left over parts from a GFI S12U 7-5 to Extended E9th 5-5 conversion.

Hi Bobby - these spacere are .990" long a .500" OD. The ID is about 0.400".

Wonder what they are for? I'd like the metal stuff to go to good use - if these nylon spacers went in the trash it wouldn't be then end of the world. Thanks for the help!

You guys are awesome. All on a Sunday night. HAve agood week!

Here's a pic of a Sho-Bud bracket that shows its shape better, they're more square than the rectangular blocks in your pics, so still a mystery. What diameter is the through hole? Same as the nylon bushings?
