You can go here (its a pdf file - actually the instructions from Phil Glenn): http://www.markstivers.com/valytech/Young%20Chang%20bracket%20repair.pdf It's a handy document to keep around. It describes all these possibilities, including being prepared to plug and redrill, longer screws, etc., even spread dimensions. I'd just not had the problem until this time. This is about my 5th job over the years, and I have another one coming up too. And, yes. It was an epidemic.

(Was it an epidemic?) The holes in my feet were OK, but the screws were definitely too short. I think rather than the brackets coming in several versions, the communication of dimensions came in different versions! ;>) jeannie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Susan Kline Sent: Friday, May 15, 2009 3:00 PM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: Re: [CAUT] Young Chang Action bracket update What timing. I started one of those jobs today. It's the first time I've had trouble with the old screw holes lining up, so I've got to do some redrilling, and didn't get finished today like I'd hoped. Would have been nice if they could have drilled the holes in the bottom of the brackets to line up like the old brackets. This particular set had three holes that didn't line up. One front end bracket hole, and both the front middle holes - the ones that go in at an angle. The angle is drilled differently in the new bracket and completely misses the old screw hole in the action frame. This is the set with smaller brackets for the insides. Yeah, I had that last month -- redrilled the two inner front holes. I also had to get longer action screws, because some of the feet were thicker than the originals. I wondered if the potmetal brackets had come in several versions? Susan Kline -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
