    Thanks for info.  I would plug and redrill with trepidation, but 
that seems the logical choice.

Hi Les

Not to worry its quite easy. Might I offer a couple pieces of advice in 
doing this that may save you a bit of ergelse ? First, often (most 
times) the underside of the guide hole is beveled. You can pre-bevel 
your plug to accommodate this. Secondly, and this goes rather hand in 
hand with the first, make the plug flush with the bottom of the guide 
rail when you glue it. You can easily sand smooth from the top and dab a 
brush of Shellack over the top when finished. Third, swab the inside of 
the newly drilled hole with shellack just before you run your bushing 
cloth through. It will let dry for a bit and trim excess with a very 
sharp razor knife... I like buying those use and throw away exacto like 
thingys available at most hardware stores myself.

I have it written somewhere, but I cant find it right off hand, that the 
diameter of the bushed hole should be about a half a mm larger then your 
damper wire. So you want to figure your bushing cloth thickness and this 
into the diameter of the hole you drill.

I suppose you know all this already... but thought it might be good to 
throw it out on the table anyways.
