Check them with a micrometer. I doubt that they are different from everyone 
else's
which will put them at .145.

This time of year I rebush the front rail using a .152 caul to allow for 
expansion in
the summer. During higher humidity I use the .147 caul to allow for 
shrinkage in the winter.

Balance rail caul is the same width as the pin (usually .145).

Bushing today, I'll take a picture of my key clamping system which I spoke 
of a few
weeks ago and offered to send the jpg. I lost the file but if anyone wants 
to receive it
post again privately clicking on the tag line in my sig file.
