I met an experienced machinist in my neck of the woods (Tulsa, OK), that would be available to make some PSG parts for us (you & me) one or a bunch....

His name is Jim Criner. He lives in Prattville, OK. Just west of Tulsa. Nine 1 Eight 6 Eight Eight - four 7 seven 7

That looks like an old carburetor linkage clip.

Indeed, it does, but it is smaller, and apparently (per Michael Yahl) specially ordered by Sho Bud for the Super-Pro era steels.

It's also not a machined piece, but rarher a stamped part.

Putting the guy's phone number or email address in the clear is a very bad idea. There are internet bots that are programmed to look for these things. Please edit your post to disguise his phone number. Make it something like;

9*1/8-6_8*8-4* 7#7$7 so the bots don't recognize it.

Charley,

Push pull parts are pretty hard to come by. There are always people looking for PP bell cranks (me included).

As I look at this clip, all I have to do is snip the back ear off & I have a clip that will work on a Sho~Bud.

As soon as you find a carburetor linkage clip for the correct size rod & attach hole, snip the ear off & you are ready to hook up....

Seems like every pedal steel has it's weird part - funny how that happens Smile

Go on eBay and search for carburetor linkage clip.
