I need a 1/2 inch lift kit fitting for a Carter. I need to raise my 1st pedal (Franklin pedal) about 1/4 - 1/2 inch, and it is already adjusted up to the max. I can't lower pedal 2 (C pedal) as it is adjusted to work with the 3rd pedal and the 3rd and 4th pedals are already lowered to the max before the 4th pedal would hit the floor. I already have a 1" lift kit on all 9 pedals, but need 1 shorter link that screws onto the rod and the ball fitting screws onto.
Any ideas??

I would contact Al Brisco. He has all the remaining Carter parts.

Check out ACE hardware type store for threaded hex long stock.

 As Larry said, go to Ace and look for "coupling nuts, they come in a variety of lengths and threads, I think prolly yours are #10-32tpi, scew em on the pedal rod end ,screw in some 10-32 x 3/4" set screws to attach the ball pivot coupling back on and yer done....Stormy....ps u can find the hex coupling nuts in chrome also for a nice pro look.  |

| Richard...Without knowing the amount of available thread on your pedal rods, I thought I would throw this out there anyway. If you removed the extender from pedal one and used only the stock pedal coupler, could you back it off approximately 1/2" to acheive the results you seek? (This adjustment may also allow you the freedom to raise the height of the other three pedals if you wish). |

Thanks guys.
Gerald. I currently have 1" extenders on the guitar now. I just can't get the first pedal higher than the second. I would need a shorter lift "fitting".
David... I tried that and the rod is not long enough to reach the pedal with no lift fitting.
I will definitely check out Ace. Thanks again.

That's what I love about Mullen ! I needed a 1/2" raise on my guitar and they came through. I could of made it with a 1" but the 1/2" was perfect.
I guess you can figure I had problems with the folks at Carter ! You get what you pay for .
Hate I rattled some chain's out there. I'm sure I will hear about it. LOL

Actually, I would prefer the 1/2". I have a 1/2"spacer, but I can't find a shorter 10-32 set screw. I tried Ace, 2 Orchard supply's, and Home Depot. I want a 3/4" long set screw, but I guess they don't make a 10-32 3/4" set screw.
If anyone knows where I can get one, I would appreciate knowing.

Thanks again. I managed to find a 3/4" set screw yesterday. I think that will fix me up the way I want it.
