<< Has anybody come up with a "best" thickness for key bushing cloth? Here's the story. I'm working on a 1920s S&S B that doesn't have the advantage of a home with air conditioning. >> I haven't found anything more durable or stable than the factory supplied cloth for key bushing. It is .053" thick at approx 50% RH. I did have some Fletcher Newman "box cloth" years ago which was firmer, but I don't know about the stability. I also wonder if the wood changes more than the cloth. If so, reducing the cloth thickness will make the problem worse...
