Five-Star L-Shoe Bracket

L-Shoe Bracket

Traditional hardware for banjo. This handsome die-cast nickel-plated zinc alloy L-shoe holds a bracket hook on the side of a banjo rim.

A stainless steel bolt with 5/16" hex head and 1/2"-diameter washer is included. L-shoes are traditionally used on open-back banjos, and occasionally on other banjos that have removable resonator flange plates.

The 12-24 thread portion of the bolt is 13/64" (5.16mm) diameter and is 1" long, to fit a 3/4" (19.05mm) thick banjo rim. The bolt can be cut shorter in your shop to fit a thinner rim.
