Hi Terry,

Re your other post you sent to show the drilling for vertical 
hitches. That looks to be a very nice bridge you've got sitting up 
there on the Knabe board. Nice work.

Yes its barrel distortion in the camera. The strut is straight.

The strut has a taper turned onto the two ends. The plate has a small 
countersunk hole drilled into the plate to locate the strut. The 
belly rail fitting is wound right in, the plate is fitted to the 
case, then the strut is positioned as the fitting is wound out to 
take up any lash. I don't pre-load it. The fitting is would out just 
enough to hold the strut in position. You'll notice that the 
sostenueto bracket has been shortened to allow enough space for the 
strut mount.
