Renner Back Action

[David M. Porritt]

Terry:

I just put one of these in a couple of weeks ago.  The cost from
Renner is $420.00.  They are not hard, but do get the $40.00 (extra)
flange screw drill bit.  It works well and you'll use it on the next
20 units you do.  The Renner parts are superb (the damper wires
actually go through the sockets and the screws have a good slot so
they can be tightened....radical stuff!)  You need a drill press and
a good saw.  You can do it in a day.
