Dekley part nylon plugs for securing cross shaft

A friend has bought a second hand Dekley and wants to add a 4th lever LKL.
What I need to know is the size of the thread in the back apron/plate to cut on the nylon plug that I can make for securing the cross shaft.

Thanks for the info

About $50 /month for 10Gb :eek:
To watch Paul's lessons I'm better off in the Netherlands for about $35/month, no Gb limits and even with just 3Mbit speed over the old copper phoneline, no problems with the streaming :)

With best regards from Holland,

Why sell???

"It plays and sounds out of this world."
Dear Rick,
Personally I would not sell any instrument that plays and sounds great. After a while you may regret you ever sold it

Sold one, buy another

Hi Damiano, Noticed that you sold your MSA semi-classic for abou the price you want to buy a new or another one. Is that for changing from 3 pedal + 1 lever to one with 3 pedals + 4 levers? For € 700,-- it might be difficult to find a good one. At Promota Music sales via link Johan posted, you mig...

It has been great, not only for the steel and the music, but especially because of all the nice and warm hearted people.

New dual single coil pickup for my MSA S12-D "The Unive
