It is difficult to tell if the hammers are bored exactly the same. The old hammers were shot and had been heavily filed, so I can only estimate the distance from the strike point to the hole. The distance from the hole to the back of the molding is the same. >2. Not trying to be obvious here, but lost motion is okay, right? Yes, I adjusted for lost motion on my samples. >3. Did you by chance replace the butts when you did the hammers? You didn't >mention that you had but if so check for any geometry variations that could >align things differently. I used the original butts. I just rebushed/repinned the flanges. Thanks for your reply. Terry Beckingham
