Hammer Spring Rail Replacement

[Gordon Holley]

Thanks Gordon.  When I took the rail off and inspected it and the 
springs, it was straight and not warpped.  However,  your suggestion 
will be so helpful in the future should I ever worked on another on 
of these actions (G).  Rubber grommets hardened, breaking off when I 
removed the sticker from the fork, screwed threads of the sticker 
above the nut rusted or coated with mouse pi_ _. Hope I can get the 
nuts off when I put new grommets on. Boy, first one of these I've 
worked on and I get a crudded mess.  However, guess you might as well 
grin and get on with it.
Thanks again Gordon, Regards, Gordon Holley
