The old front rail pins are .146 and new from the factory are .128 The old front rail pins are longer by a quarter inch or so and the bottom of the replacements are fatter. I can get .146 replacements with the fatter bottoms and drill out the keyframe to accommodate but is there an easier way?? If I do drill out the keyframe, what size drill do I use?? ..... like 10 thousands smaller or some such thing?? The shorter length is not an issue that I can tell. BTW this is the one that I asked y’all about replace or recover the backchecks. I replaced and used the drill press (unplugged) as a press. I was able to get consistency with in a half a mil this way .......... and I feel it took less time and gave a much nicer looking job. 4 hours plus about an hour of rough adjustment. Thanks everyone. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/pianotech.php/attachments/20121113/4ce821da/attachment.htm>
