David, I did a post here about my bench set-up. I installed 6 (5 will do) glide bolts on my bench (similar to some Baldwin grands) You need to do 2 to 3 key on each end and in the center of the action, in the piano. When you put it on the bench, you adjust the key frame glides on your bench to get the same key dip, then you proceed from there. There will be times when you'll need to put some masking tape on the key frame glides to get the proper adjustment. Be sure to use hold down springs on each end of the action.
