Vertical action questions

[Jerry Hunt]

Keith,

Thanks for the response. In retrospect, with the springs only a couple
bucks a hundred, the question should have been a no brainer (oh well, it
was early on a Monday morning....).
I should have said "overhauling", not "rebuilding". I will try your plan
of attack on the action centers.
