Hi all,

has anyone got any spare bell cranks & pull rods suitable for a Crown Sierra 5/16" round cross shaft?

Maybe someone has converted a U12 to E9 extended and has some to sell.

Cheers

Keith

PM sent - your 250mm pull-rod is waiting for you 8-). Hope some cranks turn up, that'll be easier than making one.

Thanks Tony.
Shame about lockdown, would've loved to drive out your way.

Well that's something to look forward to. Would there be space for an upright bass?
It'll be a while before I'm competent on the pedal steel.

Sure it's big enough for a bass - but the real objective is to meet, play, learn or teach and, most of all, encourage. So the best option is to bring your steel guitar :D
Here's a picture of me in just one corner of the room we use - and there's a couple of Sierras there to look at.

Ah, for some reason I thought you were referring to a folk session.
Great, keep me posted.
