Nice idea, Joe, but the "rail" is so thin that screws
are not much of an option, I'm afraid, except for very
small ones to index the things. And as there are great
globs of horse glue holding the flanges in place on
this thin, fragile rail, "popping them off" isn't
pleasant to think of, either. I believe, from years of
player work, that shards and splinters would be all
that's left. 
     No, the brake part cleaner worked gorgeously,
wonderfully, fantastically well! Of course I used a
new carbon mask, as it's xylene, which can make you
forget your own name, rank and raison d'etre, pronto!
Feel like an idjit for not trying it 30 years earlier!
Thump

P.S.  Bet it killed all the cooties in this thing,
too!
