Roger, Your idea has merit, except for one small detail. It is predicated on the premise that all of the balance rail pins are the same size. If you would take micrometer readings of just one set of balance rail pins, (all of them), you will find that there really is a disparity of size(s). I prefer to size for each pin. But, that's just me. Best regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon)
