Perhaps I should have said "partially overlapping." When the angle is flipped (with a much milder angle in the other direction, tangential to radius from the balance rail hole to the capstan head), the hole would actually overlap by about 1/4 of the hole's diameter, as I recall. Anyway, I'd be drilling through a mixture of wood and fill. I didn't know how well that would work, so I simply didn't bother with it. ;-) Maybe next time I do work on that part of the piano. Peace, Sarah
