Does anyone make these paddles for an Emmons P/P?
Or does anyone sell them?
Mullen's reply was negative.





I would love to buy them. (Pictures by Carl Dixon)

Peter,
You can make your own.
I wanted to try one on my RKR one day, so I started looking around the room for my new knee lever paddle, and there it was!... the plastic cover for an on/off light switch.
Attached it with a zip-strap.
Works great and makes the RKR knee lever seem MUCH easier to enguage and hold over for long periods of time on my S12U Emmons P-P. Slips on and off quickly.
I have plans to make a fancier one.

Thanks Pete, but now I have to play in the dark

I also use 15mm slide-binders (for holding paper together) to make the levers longer. Works well, but not for paddles.

Peter,
I'm not sure what you would have available in So Africa - but I went to Home Depot, bought some aluminum flat bar stock, a few bolts, and made my own. Four in about 1/2 day - and for minimum cash. It's not that difficult.
