questions. One - what's a grub?</font></blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>The slot that the spring rides in on the lever, that is the term
someone used</div>
<div>a while ago so I stuck with it.<br>
</div>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Two -
Can you supply the same type of directions as below to make the
pliers?</font></blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>A grinder removes material from the inside of the jaws to a
curved profile</div>
<div>and then tapers the outside to a width that fits into the
area.</div>
<div>Drag a piece of emery cloth thru the closed jaws to smooth the
surface.</div>
<div>Go finer grades ending with crocus cloth. Buff on a wheel.</div>
<div><br></div>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial"
color="#000000">Actually, a third question: what's your observation
about the</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial"
color="#000000">adherence of the Dag to the previously 'tallowed'
surface?</font></blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>Not had a problem in application or wear that I could see on the
few follow-ups.</div>
<div><br></div>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" color="#000000">And
last...as long as you're going to these lengths, have the part
in</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" color="#000000">your
hands, and especially because you are re-tensioning the
spring,</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" color="#000000">do you
consider repinning the rep levers to increase the pinning
friction?</font></blockquote>
<div><br>
To tell the truth, I've not paid much attention to that. The problem
around here</div>
<div>is tight centers. Mostly wippen flanges repinning, rarely jacks
and never had</div>
<div>an issue with rep spring and lever friction. Only on new
sets where pinning</div>
<div>was either too tight or the bushing too spongy have I needed to
address the rep lever.</div>
