Franklin" Pedal On Push/Pull?

So where can I find one (or two) of these idle bellcranks?

Brad, you can make them yourself. Just take a regular bellcrank and drill an extra 1/4" hole into the shank. You can cut off the lower shank with a hacksaw, but it's not really necessary. You must take out the set screw to make it "idle". To prevent the idle bellcrank from wobbling on the cross bar, fasten a collar (5/16" ID) on each side of it.

There is one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet. If there is a B to Bb lower in addition to the PF pedal, it will have to be tuned with a half-tone tuner. Turning this half-tone tuner in the bowels of the undercarriage is a bear!
