Hi John, Two other possible causes could be that there is a large gap between plate flange and block and that the web screws around the tuning pins are not tight enough to pull the block up tight against the plate webbing. I have cut and installed wedges between the block and plate and used a jack to put pressure on the block then used a big screwdriver and leverage to tighten the webbing screws. THe wedges have been especially effective. A perfect example for a need for a snug plate block fit. Newton
