Everyone: Thanks for the replies, best wishes, and suggestions. Monday certainly was an eye-opening experience for us both. There's 16 mil knuckles on the shanks that were ordered. In my opinion, and I think Mr.Farrell will agree: 16 mil will work just fine once we find the sweet spot with the capstan. Without doing the math and switching out shanks, I feel 17 mil will bring into play, in this case, another can of worms that would be time-consuming and frankly, not necessary for this action. This action went from a potential troublesome regulating nightmare to a very workable regulation with some wiggle room potential. but..keep those suggestions coming! -Phil Bondi(Fl)
