I have done this several times with no problems.<BR> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff>Steve Grattan</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff>Lost Chord Clinic</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif"><BR> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">----- Original Message ----<BR>From: David Love <davidlovepianos@comcast.net><BR>To: Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org><BR>Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 10:11:35 PM<BR>Subject: RE: Double-Bushed Guide Rails<BR><BR>Screw that, just buy the thickest bushing cloth (Pianotek sells it), cut<BR>your own strips, diameter of the hole x 3.14159... for the width will work<BR>fine.  <BR><BR>David Love<BR><A href="mailto:davidlovepianos@comcast.net" ymailto="mailto:davidlovepianos@comcast.net">davidlovepianos@comcast.net</A> <BR><A href="http://www.davidlovepianos.com/" target=_blank>www.davidlovepianos.com</A><BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: <A href="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org" ymailto="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org">pianotech-bounces@ptg.org</A> [mailto:<A href="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org" ymailto="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org">pianotech-bounces@ptg.org</A>] On Behalf<BR>Of William Monroe<BR>Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 6:49 PM<BR>To: Pianotech List<BR>Subject: Double-Bushed Guide Rails<BR><BR>I've never rebushed the S&S double bushed guide rail.  I am wanting to keep<BR>it double bushed for hysterical accuracy.  ;-]<BR><BR>Any tips/procedures to help?  I'm assuming standard bushing cloth works fine<BR>for the inner layer, but what should be used for the outer?  I'd really<BR>appreciate input on this one.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>William R.
