Dean said: "Actually, I had to redo a couple, and the flush trim saw did a real nice job of cleaning the CA out of the groooves. Not to worry, though, I think the braided Dacron will last a few more years than that OEM cotton thread." You're probably right on that account. Good to know that the CA can be blasted out of there w/a thin bladed saw.<G> And then: "Been there, done that. :-) This is only the 2nd or 3rd Yamaha that I've done in the last 10 years that didn't have the butt plates. I really didn't want to take the time to make a separate jig. For now I have the nails covered with Styrofoam blocks, as I think I have another job in the wings. So maybe I should have made that a permanent jig. Dang!" Well, here's one that I made up for the Flange Plate type.(enclosed) I'm sure, if you took your basic concept and added mine, you'd come up with a nice little jig, for multiple times thang.<G> Hope this'll prompt you.<G> I'll send several photos, after this initial one, so's not to exceed the size perameters.
