Make 2 "legs" for it about 7 to 8" long  from the same material and secure them to each end with glue and screws. If you want to get fancy you can add a piece of 3/4"X1/4" material next to the slot for the bass end, standing on the 1/4" edge, so your wedge dampers are supported above the flat surface. Clean, simple, done in about a half hour.   <BR><BR> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=gmail_quote>On 8/11/07, <B class=gmail_sendername>John Ross</B> <<A href="mailto:jrpiano@win.eastlink.ca">jrpiano@win.eastlink.ca</A>> wrote:</SPAN> <BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">What I was using, was the let-off rail from a junk action, with the eyes.
