Jack, I agree that first, you should check with Bill. He might already have the size(s) you need. And he gives great service. As a *last resort*, with a bit of trial and error, you might be able to use your existing cauls along with two different thicknesses of bushing cloth to get your desired final result. I admit that I've never done this, but I seem to remember reading about that possibility somewhere. Just a thought.
