I haven't done that in years. Lots of wire bending as I remember, but I think I had built a jig to that well, if I can find it! Kept the individual tweaking down to a minimum as I remember it.... Thanks again to all, Scott </BLOCKQUOTE> I have never done a grand replacement, but I have done several verticals, where they had plastic parts. I found the easiest way was to duplicate the angles of the original damper wires. (presuming they're correct). Just a thought. Wim </HTML>
