[pianotech] Replacing action bracket bolt

[Barbara Nobbe]

Les,

Thanks for the tip and the complement.  As for the website, it's 3 years old and seriously needs updating.  But, it's functioning and like most things, it will get revamped when I get a round tuit.  :-)  Thanks again.

Barb, 

Make sure the action bolt is at the correct height BEFORE tweaking it to mate to 
the action bracket, otherwise if you rotate after the fact, you will be either 
raising or lowering the action bracket.  If you have a long sstraight edge, you 
could lay it across the remaining ones to help determine the height.

btw, I like your web site, especially the state map with highlighted counties 
you service...nice touch.

Tom C, Tom D and William,

Thank  you for the help and I liked Isaac's tip about the VJ lube and pipe  
nipple.? I think I will try to rethread the original bolt first though,  just 
for practice sake.? Thanks for the idea.? If it works, great, the  repair is 
fixed!? If I mess it up worse, then plan B, I can still  replace the bolt.? It 
feels good to have a back up...and an excuse to go  shopping!  Lol.

Thanks again!
