:) Wayne the link I posted is for 3/16" square tube ;) My old BMI has 1/4" for the pedal rail and it is a rock, man u dance on that sucker !! :lol: Storm It looks like 3/16" and 1/4" is good but stay away from 1/8" (too much flex!)

Wayne

I thought i would post this topic here on the forum in order to give Bent a break from my many questions! Would like to discuss the stop pc. that stops the rap around fingers in neutral. Not sure what this pc. is called but some guitars have just a plate with no adjustment and others (like Rains) ha...
