Knuckle question

[Stéphane Collin]

Hello Larry.

I once ran into the same problem.  I shimed the wooden cores with paper and reported no problem so far (5 years, I think).  I guess that two things are important here : the knucles must hold in place and they must be very carefully aligned.  But I am curious to see other's comments.

Best regards.

Stéphane Collin.

        List... I have a set of knuckles to install and the wood core is slightly narrower than the slot (it reaches the bottom). Is it acceptable to install and let the glue fill in the gap or should I shim it with paper or anything else? Or is it unacceptable to have a wood core that isn't snug? Thanks for your help.
