Adjustable Action Centers

[Isaac OLEG SIMANOT]

Hello,

THe Erard Flanges are smaller in height than modern flanges, but a little
bit larger, the bushing is in the flange.

Never have to rebush or repin on these, they worked always well. BTW, I
don't even remember how is the bushing (round or tie type) ?

Bye

Isaac
