Hey All,
Would anyone be able to post some photos of a BMI single neck, older style LKR and RKR knee lever? (closeups would be great.)
I received the parts from Don at BMI and realized that they both install in different manners, and I am not sure how either of them should be properly installed with the pre-drilled holes in the cabinet.
Thanks |

Ok--this is a 1983 S-10.
First two pics are LKR
Second two pics are RKL
Tell me if you need anything else, any angles, the reversing RKR, whatever.

Thanks Jon,
Those are really helpful. I did figure out the RKR somewhat, but it seems that the flat crossbar I received fits the upper pivot points, and not the lower points where it needs to be installed, I will call Don at BMI tomorrow and ask him about it.
I really appreciate it much, Thank You! |

Hey Jon,
I spoke with Don at BMI, and he offered a few solutions. I chose to disassemble the steel down to the point where the left endplate was able to be removed, and than slid out the front, pre drilled portion of the cabinet, which has the piece of mica as faceplate.
I than drilled a second larger hole for the crossbar pin that acts as a stop, and than reassembled and all was good. It installed in the same manner as your RKR in the photo.
Thanks for the help! Here is a photo of the finished job-
