<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I moved the knuckle out 2mm from the center - so
now it is 18mm. Jack/knuckle alignment isn't quite as good - but not real
bad:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It looks like my knuckle core might not be real
square with the shank - I'll double-check that (could just be the camera angle)
- I cut the slot by hand and it was a little bit sloppy.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Looks like there is plenty of room for the jack in
it's new rest position in the rep lever window:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But more to the point - WOW! DW went from 50g to
43g and upweight is still okay at 23g. So now I will do some calculating and
figure out how much lead I can remove for a new target front weight. Gettin'
more lead out can only improve this action I think.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I'm going to end up moving knuckles, I guess
I'll have to dig through the archives on shank notching techniques - I know
there have been a number of discussions on that topic.</FONT></DIV>

What is the knuckle radius?<BR>>> If you can bump it out to 17 or
18mm<BR>>> you can increase the dip and get rid of some lead.<BR>>
<BR>> So you are of the opinion that my dip is undesirably small? How can
you be <BR>> so smart to know that this action had lots of lead in the
keys? ;-)<BR>> <BR>> 16mm. I'll look to see if there is room in
the rep lever window. Getting rid <BR>> of lead would be good, I think. I
have reduced the lead from six in the bass <BR>> to 4-1/2, but that is
still a fair bit of lead compared to the ideal of <BR>> three in the bass
to none in the treble.<BR>> <BR>>> Maintain about a 90 degree angle
between the jack and shank at rest.<BR>> <BR>> I think it's close to 90
degrees now - I'll look to see how moving the <BR>> knuckle out further
will affect things.<BR>> <BR>>> Is the wippen flange centers at a
good height? Usually 2 1/2" below the <BR>>> HCH.<BR>> <BR>> I'm
trying to imagine what HCH could be - and am failing. What is HCH?<BR>>
