Hey all,

I have a beautiful JCH on the bench here and I'm looking for the a bell crank for it. They actually look somewhat similar to a GFI bell crank and rod kit. Can anyone with a GFI do some measuring for me?

I'm looking for the width of the cross-rods the bell cranks are attached to.

Or... is anyone sure that a GFI Bell Crank would work/not work?

If it wouldn't work, any suggestions?

Thanks up front!!!

Joe,

Emmons 4-hole bell cranks resemble JCH bell cranks, except for the holes being staggered. They will fit on the square cross bars and the JCH swivels will also fit the 1/4" holes, or visa versa.

When I had my JCH I used a Emmons bellcrank. Worked great.
