What is the part number?...Because if it is the part that I think it is, then that removes all questions as to the difference between a regular butt replacement do-jiggie and a splice piece, <EM>for the brass rail</EM>. The Scaff catalog is unclear, and doesnt explain what the repair piece is/does.   </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>JUlia Gottshall</DIV> <DIV>Reading, PA</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 7/14/2006 2:39:04 PM Eastern Standard Time, jrpiano@win.eastlink.ca writes:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>I prefer to cut out a section of the rail, and install a repair flange.</FONT></STRONG></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
