Got a question about bolt-ons and wraps.I've seen a few of each in my time but I don't think any of them were in original condition......they had 8 pedals and at least 4 levers.I've heard that wraprounds from the factory had no knee levers while bolt-ons came with only 2.

Is this fact or fiction?

Not an answer, another question.
bolt on...cut tail...wrap around...what is the difference to look for looking at the changer from the top?

Thanks...BF

For Bill Ford;

I believe the picture is from Mr Jay Ganz.....Ron

Would someone convince Mr. Lucker to write an Emmons book? Put me first in line for its purchase.
