For reference, here's the current MCI copedent. All half-stops are feel stops. All the rods and bell cranks I got are in there already!

That is the equivalent of the C6 knee lever that lowers string 3 from C to B.
Got it!

Hi Aris, Good to see you're still at it! Hey Scott, thank you :) Having had my MSA universal for about 7 months now, here are my comments. In my prior E9 life I had both E's on the right - E raises on RKL and E lowers on RKR. Having them on the same side makes the most sense to me as you don’t ev...

I think you did SMART in moving the E-to-D drop to a knee lever. So you understand the connection of the "two" tunings and make it on. It also gives you access to to the B-pedal and A&B with that change engaged. The B-pedal is evidently a common added lever on C6th (A-to-Bb raise). Be...

On a related issue, it might not be a bad idea to raise the 1st string F# to G on LKV. It wouldn't interfere with B to A#. I've never seen it done, but it makes sense. When ordering a new guitar, I always specify at least 2 changes for each pedal or lever because you never know when you might need ...

Thank you Bobby, Thomas and Jerry. I have actually already impatiently ordered from the UK website, but making a single order with the parts I'll need later on would have been the right move. And even from UK, shipment was twice the price of the product! Anyway, it will be good to have these worn ou...

Thank you for these indications Kevin. I think I've found a comparable item on this UK website: https://www.raptorsupplies.com/pd/camca ... 63cp-pk100. I'll try to get it from there (though the product itself is a good deal more expensive!)

If the overseas shipping is not ideal, surely there must be a European supplier of this sort? https://www.mcmaster.com/screws Thanks Jim, I haven't found one that has a wide array of imperial screw, but I'll keep looking. Would you say this seems to correspond: https://www.mcmaster.com/91251A150/ ?

I'd rather find the same hex socket fastener type, but philips or other would be better than nothing.

MCI bell crank screws

I'm trying to restore an MCI U12 and I need bell crank screws like the one on the picture below. I think it is a 6 x 5/8 hex socket head cap screw, but maybe someone actually knows this? And most importantly where I could order them? Thanks in advance. Aris https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix202...
