<div dir="ltr"><div>I can do one in a day, in a shop. There was other stuff like putting capstans and felt under each lever for pedal lift and getting off the old spring set ups and reusing. Repin the tray to not scrub. Make the lift rod captive at the ends instead of in the center. (no more squeaks) Install the assist springs the very last after you have put it in and are certain it will work properly.</div> <div> </div> <div>One old Mason and Hamlin with the metal backaction brackets, we couldn't use the new tray but by altering the old tray, I was able to make some new levers work. You don't have a great variety of lengths. </div> <div> </div> <div>Keith Roberts<br><br></div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 8:16 PM, Aaron Bousel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:abousel@comcast.net">abousel@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div>Can any of you who have used the Renner replacement back action give me an idea of how many hours one should allow for that job.
