Hi all.
Does anyone know where I might find 7/64" pull rods for my ShoBud?
I called a few welding supply stores with no luck.
PSG is no longer around, such a bummer!!  |

Update,
I had some new brass swivels that attach to the bell cranks (purchased from PSG a while back). They are made for 1/8" rod. Replaced the swivel and problem solved! The changer end is already able to accommodate the 1/8" rod.
Keeping my old guitars working until my new Sierra is born!!!  |

The only guitar I have dealt with that uses 7/64" rods is Emmons, With the pull rods that require the L bend and little E-Clips, To connect to the Bell Cranks.
Fastenal can order 7/64" Stainless Steel rod. Be sure to have it cut in 36 inch lengths. The first time I ordered this rod I needed 50 ft. to make a set of Emmons' rods for a friend.
They shipped it in 20 ft. lengths taped to a 1" X 3" X 20 foot board. The shipping was more than the rod cost. |
