Hi Dale,

Yes, I read that knuckle moving thread with much interest!  So much new =
stuff has come up since I was on my extended maternity leave, it seems =
I've been spending quite a bit of my very part-time income on new and =
improved technology (So how much is that slotting jig?).  I must admit =
that previously I lived a very protected life as a dealer technician and =
then as a university technician where I didn't have to deal with stuff =
quite like this.  I'm pedaling as fast as I can to catch up.  This list =
is a great help. Thanks so much.

Barbara

     Barb.
    Size does not equal weight. In order to track this in real terms a =
few strike or hammer weight samples are needed. Don't freak out at the =
physical size of the hammer, it's the weight one is concerned with. If =
these are on A 15.5 mm knuckle/shank the touch weight will not be =
managed by friction,reg or magic pills. Get the new Kaplan slotting jig =
now & solve soo many of this actions problems in a few short hours. =
Shameless promotion. grin.
    Or rent one. Yes, it's a new concept but hey what's it worth to ya.?
    Just a thought
     Dale
   actually I can take a real good guess at which parts/shank this =
action needs simply by how it regulates. What's the dip at the pin and =
the blow distance both measured very acurately?
