I am setting my Zum U-12 up for the Day Pedals, and the Universal knees. I am looking for two pull rods. One about 9 to 9 1/4. and one 25 t0 25 1/4. I am not exact because of the turn going into the bell crank. Thanks in advance, I am willing to pay what ever, don't want to be a free be, in other words, I will pay for them, with much thanks.

Maybe just to clarify, we need to know which style of bellrank/rod you have.

Early comb style with roll pin, like this:


Or the most current style like so from Leo's old post:
Bruce may still have some of these newer rods.

It would be the rods on the bottom. It is a 2008 model

Would you have these Jerry, or should I contact Bruce himself?

Sorry Jim. I don't any of the new style rods. Maybe try Bruce.

Jim, I looked in my loft where I keep extra parts and I only have a few of the older style. I wish I could have helped.

Thanks all, I do have a Carter that I changed and love it, but really wanted to do the Zum. I will try and contact Bruce, or maybe Doug, with the Encore. I think the rods are the same, except maybe the nylon tuners size.

Jim, If I’m not mistaken john Widgren in Wilton Ct. can make you the rods
Good luck Frank

That just might be. He's the one I bought it from. I really never thought of that. Thanks
