This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Terry asked: "How do others approach this task?" Terry, I use the "Plate bolts". Fit the board to the rim. Of course have the = rough bridge heights. (Of course you took measurments of the olde = bridges.<G>) The worst one is clearing the plate struts. I drop the = plate, adjust to approximate placement and mark the struts. Remove = plate, rough cut for plate clearance. Once you have the struts cleared, = drill for the plate bolts and insert them. (All of them.<G> ) I then use = cardboard shims between the plate and the soundboard. (Front rail "card" = punchings are good.) Cinch down, lightly and get out the string. Saw = cuts in several places. (or router trimmer cuts, is easier.) This will = get you in the ball park fairly quickly. The rest is in/out many times = w/plate to fine tune the D.B. It's tedious, but can be done in less than = a day. YMMV!<G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
