Custom Made Bell Cranks for Pedal Steel Guitars 2021
I can offer a variety of custom-made Bel
l
Cranks for your existing pedal steel guitar or for builders of
Pedal Steel Guitars. Here you will see three different
d
esigns.
BC1 is an easy on, straight pull with Delrin swivels and Naval brass adjusting-locking collar. BC2 is machined to receive an 1/8-inch diameter, bent hooked end, pull rod that goes to the changer fingers and placed in any of the 10, 5/32 diameter holes in the bell crank. The BC2 can be drilled to receive a variety of different diameter "pull rods". BC1 and BC2 are “easy on and easy off. These fit onto a 3/8 diameter axel and allows you to install... adjust location ... and remove as needed. The BC3 has a Delrin swivel on both ends and is not an “easy on easy off” design, and fitted for a 3/8-inch diameter axel.
The main part is machined from aircraft quality aluminum. The ones shown in an assembly are mounted on a 3/8- inch diameter stainless steel axel. The model with the white Delrin swivel is drilled for an 1/8-inch diameter
straight rod to actuate the changer fingers where the strings are attached. The button head Allen cap
screw is hardened steel and repositions the Bell Crank "off center" of the axel to lock it and prevent it
from coming off of the axel. This Bell Crank is open, so it can be easily installed or removed. Once it is
placed on the axel there is a hardened Naval Brass screw to tighten and stabilize the Bell Crank and
prevent it from being "sprung" open, by over tightening the button head locking screw holding the Bell Crank on
the axel. These Bell Cranks can be made to fit onto a round axel, square axel or hexagon axel of a variety
of dimensions.
The BC3 made with two opposing Delrin swivels are designed to be used to "pull" or "push" the pull rod
so they can "raise" the string tone by pulling the changer finger or "Iower" the string tone by pushing
the changer finger. I also make Capos for Dobros and other lap type guitars listed on Ebay.
