<p><br>Sorry Ron... last word in this snipped paragraph should have been
"keybed". I hope that clears up any confusion.

"Bobbing [adjacent] hammers" is a clear indication that not all glide

<p><br>They were all regulated such that each was just barely in contact

<p>Thanks for your interesting proceedure tho.
<p>And thanks to all you folks out there for the responses this thread
has generated. Its amazing how easy it is to miss such an important detail
in any such process we do. I'd always been under the impression that glide
bolts were supposed to be at minimal contact. Obviously, its not just a
matter of all glide bolts evenly touching the bed after all... its also
a matter of how much pressure they put on the bed given the flex characteristics
of any given action. I definantly shoulda picked up on this one years ago...
:) Live an learn.
<p>Thanks again one and all.
