<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I guess I’ll have to revisit the
formulas (or my action model—wherever the damn thing is). However,
just from an empirical point of view, I have had success in reducing
touchweight slightly by shimming the wippen flange (or rail) out. Whether
or not it is as effective as moving the stack, I’ll have to take your
word for it for now. Admittedly, it’s not a solution I usually
consider for wholesale leverage changes. </span></font></p>
