James I Dont Like the Curved Pedals On My Round front 71 To 73 D 10 , Can I Put The Flat Pedals On it, Thanks Randy Gilliam?

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 21 Oct 2010 1:31 am

What flat pedals are you refering to? The pedal board axle is 1/2", so whatever pedal you use needs to be of correct dimensionfor the axle as well as the hook-up for the pedal rods. Personally, i'd just use what's stock for a guitar. But that's just me---------------

Thanx for the kind words, Chris and Donald.

Here's some pics as the RKR and RKL would lay out on a singleneck Shobud. Notice the different possibilities of knee stops demonstrated. Knee kits do not include the cross shafts and pullers, of course.

James, in your reversing mechanism I notice that you are using Chicago Screws. What material are they made of and do you find that they last and are good against wear?

Brent, Those are aluminum alloy pictured--so far, so good. The chicago screws also come in brass.

Thanks James. I have been thinking to use them in the changer scissors pivot. Easy to get the right tightness, and a drop of loctite keeps them from unscrewing.

Hey Bent, I wouldn't advise useing a chicago screw in a finger. Where I am using them, it's easy to change them out if a problem developes. But that's me. Ah-ha!!

What does your RKR mechanism looks like.

Can't quite get my replacement to feel right
and not wobble front to back.

Scroll up a little and you'll find the RKR and RKL pics. Email me and I'll see if I can help you.

I'm only seeing what I recognize as S-10 or S-12 levers.

I should have specified D-10, to work on a Pro-II.

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 4 Nov 2010 9:36 am

Email me and I'll send you some pics for D10. Lemme know what era your 'bud is, too.
