damper guide rail bushings

[David Love]

Gluing isn't necessary to keep them in but if you ever have to ease the
bushing you can push them out if you are not careful.  I usually put a spot
of glue to tack them in around where the bottom of the bushing extends
through the guide rail.

In my view it's just unnecessary.  I've never glued them in and never
had any give me trouble.

Last night when I was at work I remembered a technical given by Danny  
Boone, (RPT Waco, Texas) on the damper guide rail.  He explained that  
the bushings are not glued in place.  Today I wondering <why> they  
aren't glued and can't recall the reason.  I have his book buried  
away somewhere and can look it up but I thought I'd ask here first.
