Graeme,

Yes, I remember reading somewhere about doing this, but I have never done it.  I
would probably use a balance rail pin rather than a nail -- looks a little more
professional.  I also wasn't sure how hard the metal of the liftrod tongue is
and wasn't sure if I should go this route, but I will definitely keep it in mind
and we may end up doing it this way.  Thanks!

Regards, Clyde
