Remove this material and recheck that the tray does not rub against the bellyrail as the tray rotates. I cut the excess material off on my tablesaw using a taper jig but you can also use any number of other methods, bandsaw, power plane etc. This is quite common also with the Stwy O.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV>Jude Reveley, RPT<BR>Absolute Piano Restoration, LLC<BR>Lowell, Massachusetts<BR>(978) 323-4545</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jude,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The time to do this I suppose is after the new pivot pins have been installed so that I can run the tray through it's true rotation?
