Yes, one can rebuild & modify the old tray but it's a more
complex undertaking requiring a table saw for the cutting & fitting of a riser/extension
to build up the back piece where the screws are to be embedded in the
underlever flanges.<br>
Trix & I are now offering <strong><b><i><u><font face="Comic Sans MS"><span

& Renner back action kits with these manufacturers blessing...for those who
do not wish to do this but need to replace a system. Inquire off list<br>

Ric, <br>
The original tray is badly warped from the resistance of the leaf spring
installed at the treble end - I will modify this. <br>
The factory job made a bit of a mess of the original tray and if it were
straight, I would not like to have my name on it even if it is hiding in the
rear of the action cavity. <br>
Also I have sold the job and purchased the kit, the installation of which is
near complete. <br>
Gene </span></font></p>
