Kent - To be honest, most of the angles in the photo don't seem that discordant. The most notable, involving the 8th hitch pin from the right,(photo B4582198) seems to be due to that hitch pin being too close the its neighbor to the left. Ah, maybe there is some in the others. Are you attributing the deterioration at the rear bridge pins (noticeable in photo dscn.1179.jpg) to the angle? I doubt it. I've seen this condition on a couple of fairly new B's. Feels to me like something relating to the grain orientation of other characteristic of the bridge cap. What other concerns might you have regarding the angle layout?
