I need a couple of lateral adjustment levers for a couple of Stanley/Bailey planes. Anyone have any spare that they don't need?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't know you could remove them. I always thought they were put on with a rivet. Is that true? If so, how do you replace them? Do you grind or drill the old rivet out then find a replacement rivet and hammer it to a dome head?
Mike
Drill the pin out, or grind one side off, then punch out.
You can then use a heavy wire, inserted and peened over for the rivet.
I can do some digging around for a lever. If I have a broken frog, which I think I have a couple, I can let the lever go.
Hi Steve,
Thanks very much.
cheers, Paul
If you strike out here, you might want to give Highland Hardware a call. They're got a fair selection of plane parts. I looked on their site and they clearly have the lever labeled as a separate item (#14 in all the parts diagrams), but I sure don't see it listed separately on their site and don't see it as part of any of the repair kits either. I can't imagine it would be more than a couple of bucks if they still have them (and sell them separately).

Paul. I struck out. Found a plane that I need a lever for. LOl
As above from Doug, they have parts, or from stanley.

Or, rarebear [Johnny] on woodnet has parts also.

I have some spares. What size planes and how old are they?
Have you thought about getting the complete frog assembly? Might be easier and better.
Careful tapping that rivet!! That frog is very brittle DAMHIKT

I need them for a 5-1/2 and an 8. They seem to be the standard 8.5cm long. I am looking for older versions and not the newer stamped version.Originally Posted by Ganthan Rhodes
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers, Paul
Sorry, I only have loose new stamped ones. The others are attached to frogs, but not a 5-1/2 or an 8. I hope someone else can help you out.
The frogs do not need to be 5-1/2 or 8, but any of the older style levers will work provided they are long enough. The standard length is about 8.5cm.Originally Posted by Ganthan Rhodes

I think the laterals on the frogs would work OK, Paul. I'm just reluctant to cannibalize the frog assembly.
I understand, thanks for the time, and effort.
cheers, Paul
