Jon & Newton & all,

Lots of great suggestions.  I've attended David Stanwood's classes at =
least twice and always learn more each time.

    I agree.  It makes sense to not remove a lead that is needed anyway.
    Another concern would be to have the capstan/cushion contact point =
intersect the line
    drawn from the bottom of the br hole to the wip center while the key =
is half way down.
    So you may need to adjust the height of the heel.

    I checked this before ordering the new wippens.  The new wippens =
actually work better than the old.  I learned this trick from Rick =
Baldassin's class. The old wippens rose to the line but never actually =
passed it.  The new wippens are working just as they should as far as =
the capston/cushion point.

    I take it you will be using spring assist wippens. In that case the =
BW needs to be set
    higher with the springs off and fine tune the BW with the springs.
    Contact Dave Stanwood.

    Yes the wippens have the spring assist.
    Today has been a very productive day.  Thanks everyone.
