Eyeball the remaining guide rail holes to insure that they align between the unisons.

It's a great learning experience, and a great opportunity to work on some VERY nice pianos. And they pay me. I have been asked to re- install the damper guide rail on a S&S B that has had the board replaced. In other words, there are no screw holes to position the rail. The other tech at the shop told me to put all the old dampers in the holes in the guide rail and insert the damper wires into their damper blocks in order to line up the rail properly. Then drill right through the holes in the rail into the board, making sure that the front edge of the rail is even with the edge of the board. OK. I understand this and can do this, and certainly it seems like it would work. But being basically lazy, I wonder if there is an easier method. Any advice out there?
