Thanks both Ron and Terry for the replies. Ron if you get a moment, I am unclear on what you mean with by <<bearning block height>>. I got to thinking about this flat bellyrail vs curved for a bit... Correct me if I a wrong here... but isnt crown perpendicular to the bridge far more important then crown parallel to it.... at least from a perspective of crown strength ? I mean... the bridge itself would tend to resist bending parallel to its length... yes ? Cheers RicB Ron Overs writes: If the belly rail was crowned as well it would make for serious problems achieving a workable relationship between bridge height, bearing block height and the correct down bearing angle setting.
