Sierra Crown Mods

[Mr Bassman]

Hi all,
I bought a GFI Expo for my son to use as he couldn't afford one and got hooked myself. As he doesn't live with us I had to look for another psg so we didn't have to share. I acquired 2 Sierras locally, a 10 and a U12.
The GFI has more features than the Sierra so I'm looking at modifying the 10 string to match up to the GFI.
I've posted on the wanted page looking for parts and Tony Russell Davis has kindly offered some parts and advice.
He's also encouraged me to have a go at making my own so I've ordered some aluminium bar and removed a bell crank from the U12 as a pattern.
I could rob parts off the U12 and convert it to Ext E9 but I'd like the option of keeping it original.

Wish me luck!
Here's a pic of the bell crank.

Good luck with this Keith

Do you have a milling machine to do this work?

No milling machine but have a plan.

Yep, good luck, Keith. I can only admire you boffin/engineering types.
Those Sierras look like they're built like tanks.
