Vertical Knee Lever

Post by Mike Wilkerson »

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a vertical knee lever kit for an older MSA classic? I'll need the lever arm cross shaft bell cranks and 2 pull rods. Thanks a help. Mike

I think Wayne has MSA vertical knee levers.
Maybe not the pull rods...

Thanks Ivan
Yes I have almost everything except the bell cranks.They are getting really hard to find now so, I used a fellow forum member Barry Coker. He is a great machinist and makes them for me. They are a beautiful replica of the original. As for the pull rods I can make them but usually shipping is prohibitive. I am more than happy to do them for you. Or you can source them locally at a welding supply shop and thread them yourself. Let me know, Thanks

hey Wayne thanks buddy what size rods will I need and where can I get a die set that small? I'll source the rods locally but I know for a fact I don't a die set that small. What size do the threads need to be and how far do I thread the rod.

These parts are needed to install a knee lever in an old MSA Classic. Would need another plastic bushing if installing in a D10 or D 12. Cross shaft stops are needed for both directions of travel.
