EZ on / off mod for pedal rack attachment

Tony Glassman · Post by **Tony Glassman** » 29 Dec 2018 11:57 pm

Found these at my local Lowe’s today. Makes pedal rack set-up/breakdown quicker and easier than the OEM wing-nuts.

Bring one of your wingnuts with you to determine the appropriate size, My Emmons rack is 1/4 x 20, but saw some 10-32 and other sizes there as well, Cost is $2.99 ea,

I'm going to to use one to replace the wingnut on my steel guitar seat, too.

I found these 10-32 clamping knobs at Tractor Supply. At 3/4", the only thing that would be better for me would be if I could find 1" .
For my seat, anything other than the wing nut, turned to the right orientation, will interfere with folding & unfolding the legs. Otherwise I'd love to ditch that wing nut too.

Anybody know what size wingnut is on a BMI?

Jon Light (deceased) · Post by **Jon Light (deceased)** » 31 Dec 2018 4:06 pm

Just checked, Lee. 10-32 on my 1983 BMI.

I’ve done my pedal bar and seat like that for years. I can’t stand wing nuts!

if you pop off the wing-nut and take it to any hardware store, you can try different machine screws to determine the wing-nutâ€™s size and thread pattern

Jeff my 1979 Pro1 is 10-24...

This is what I used on my 93 Legrande from Lowe's or Tractor Supply.

Yes, good idea in theory but I live in the UK and machine screws will be in metric sizes so won't fit.

I'll have to order online blind, hence my question.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Jeff Mead · Post by **Jeff Mead** » 1 Jan 2019 1:44 pm

Well, I can't find anywhere online in the US where I can buy a couple of these to ship to the UK.

If any kind sould could pick up a couple (10-24 size) and ship them to me, I could Paypal them whatever it costs.

If you could help, please PM me.

Thanks.

I got a couple of 1/4"-20 Clamping Nuts at Lowes for my Emmons, but my Rittenberry is tapped for #10-32 male knobs which I plan to get tomorrow morning.

My pro-model Emmons D-10 has the wing nuts it left the factory with in 1973. Never any issues.

On my GS-10 guitars however, 1/4 x 20 knobs have been a godsend.

Just to add to the info here, my Mullen Royal Precision is 1/4-20.
