Thank you very much. I just did what you suggested, and I had a great time. I'm going on a limb here, but I actually enjoyed repinning the flanges. I knew instantly which needed to be done, and which I could leave alone. And it is also a very quick way to see if your traveling job was done right. Paul, if you're reading this, this is a must for the tech tips section. Again, thanks for the great advice David and Joe.
