Thanks, Paul and Chris, for the advice. The holes are all rebushed, and everything seems ok now. The first dozen or so holes were bushed quite tightly, and I had to size the holes to make the holes large enough. As I went on, I made the inner bushing cloth slimmer and the bushings became easier to insert, and the ends of the cloth melded nicely. Some of the earlier ones' bushings had to be redone because the ends of the bushings were bunched up. Much thanks to all of your suggestions and help. Paul McCloud
