Short SS A Renner back action

[Richard Brekne]

Haven't used the Renner kit myself... but one thing comes to mind... any 
reason why you couldn't just refurbish the origional tray and subsitute 
it for the Renner tray using the rest of the kit as is?

    Hello list,

    Installing a new Renner back action kit in a 1909 SS A 6'1" and was
    pleasantly surprised that the belly rail is not parallel to the key
    ends or action frame.
    It appears that the options are to either plane off the back side of
    the new tray or trim the tray at the opposite end where the lift
    levers rest.
    The original tray was trimmed under the lift levers so it was wider
    at the bass than the treble.

    As the Renner kit is made of pin block type material it is probably
    not an issue to remove 8 to 10mm of stock from the back of the tray
    without weakening it so this appears to be the option of choice.

    Trimming the tray under the lift levers at the opposite end would
    seem to make regulation difficult.
    Curious what any of you do when you encounter this sort of thing.

    Thanks,
    Gene
