Rods and Bellcranks for Sierra Royalty?

Post by Alan Kirk »

I have a 1986 Sierra S12 Royalty that I bought used. I want to set it up like the "standard" E9/B6 Universal copedent b0b has on his website at http://b0b.com/tunings/sierra.html. I've charted my copedent and checked out what's going on under the steel, and it looks like I need some more rods and bell cranks to achieve the Sierra setup. Specifically, I need:

2 rods for pedal 5, one each for strings 1 and 11.

1 rod for LKV for string 1.

1 rod for RKL for string 5.

Is it possible to find these parts for a 1986 steel?

Should I just buy new parts (seems it would be sort of expensive)? Or try to find them used?

Is this the type of thing someone in the forum might have in a spare parts box somewhere?

Thanks.
