Good to see you yesterday Mr Gamble, hope you enjoyed your visit to Santa's workshop! What I have on the picture here pretty much covers your needs should you decide to fit a half stop! with Mullen style bellcrank... That angle bracket on the right is just to prop it all up it can be to Mullen spec as per the lever stop bracket on your RKL or any shape you like! within reason! Speak soon, Bob

You have done it again Robert, with the adjustable knurled screw it is actually better than manufacturers part.
Yes I very much enjoyed my visit to Alladin 's cave and I happen to think that your new machine is the dogs undercarriage.
And I liked the trick for drilling pull rods.

Thanks to Harry Jackson for designing the adjustable half stop some 50 years ago! If you drill a hole at the bottom of the angle bracket, it would be able to be used as a half stop on the second string lower on an Emmons push pull.
