<div>><font face="Arial" color="#000000">I started with both
"Parts Kits":</font>...<font face="Arial" color="#000000">
both the Renner kit and the Abel kit</font> ...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Ah grasshoppah, you're one kit short. Tokiwa Parts Kit (P-tech,
Brooks).</div>
<div>(Don't feel bad, I have yet to get the Abel Kit).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Looking at the configuration of the whippen, I would have
included the</div>
<div>Tokiwa M&H w/ adj. spring assist for consideration. If
these are used,</div>
<div>you could remove one of the leads near the outer end because the
spring</div>
<div>will support the weight of the whippen effecting at least a -10 g
on FW.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Either the Abel or Tokiwa kit has a M&H shank with the
knuckle at 18 mm,</div>
<div>17 mm might be all you can squeeze out of it though, try many
configurations</div>
<div>to ascertain which provides the best regulation and lowest
friction.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you find a shank to regulate well but the flange doesn't fit
the rail,</div>
<div>alter the rail by removing or adding material on the indexing
edge.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Measure twice. cut once. Don't let this happen to you,</div>
<div>"Hey Moe, I cut it twice and it's still too
short."</div>
<div>"Ya moron, it's only short on one end."</div>
