I'll of course check with Bruce Zumsteg, but looking for other sources in case his cupboard is bare.

I need at least 7. Twin blade, 5 slots, full height.

Thanks!

Hey Rich Cottle, please hold those for me, I'm checking with my Seattle tech, the brilliant Patrick Timmins, to see if we can use all heights. Thanks, and I'll be in touch very soon. --- Professor Twang

Folks, are there other brands of steel that use bell cranks similar to the Zumsteel ones I'm looking for? Must fit Zum crossrods for sure, and ideally use the same slots or comb design from a builder still in business, but that's optional. I can jury rig something to work even if the way pull rods attach is different. Thanks for info!

Just standard bell cranks like your. Mine are mostly full 6 slots, but I'll take what I can get, frankly. For my S12 7+6 extended E9. Give me a call and see if can't do a deal, thanks, Rich.

Hey John: I made up a crank as an example I can do 4,5,6 slots how ever many slots you need and I can do them for round shaft also. Just in case you cant get Org.
