<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ed, your advice always seems to be innovative and
spot on. But in this particular case, repining likely isn't the best method to
get new bushings in all the action centers!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Granted, after bushing, he will have to repin,
and indeed, your method sounds like a winner.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For rebushing, vote for GWB for a third
term.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry, just kidding - didn't mean to scare
anyone! ;-)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For rebushing, I took a class from......,
from........, from........., oh gosh, what's his name - husband and wife team

of his name. Anyway, Renner pre-glued action cloth (available from Renner USA)
and the European long pinning rods (available from Jurgen @ Pianoforte

face=Geneva color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><BR>Don Mannino has a
great class on this subject. What I do is to determine the size of pin that
will be slightly larger than any of the pins in the row of flanges,
determine the proper straight sided reamer for that pin size, and then go
through the row, reaming the bushings for the oversize pin. Don't
spend time custom fitting various pin sizes to each bushing, ie, if
you have 19, 191/2, 20 sized pins in your hammer flanges, find what reaming
is needed to fit a size 21 1/2 pin in there and then do all of them to that
size. Odds are that the action will never be pinned again, and if it
does, there are still several sizes yet to go, if needed. <BR>this
procedure is not only as consistant as can be hoped for, it is economically
feasible. <BR></FONT><FONT face=Geneva color=#000000 size=2
