S&S tuning pins...

[Joseph Garrett]

Hey Ron,
Twasn't a smack, just a friendly pat on the cranium. hehehe
Seriously, though, I have done a lot of work in this regard and I think that
plate bushing can be made to serve a real function, other than providing
unskilled labor a pilot hole for drilling, as is claimed by others.
Best Regards,
Joe Garrett
