<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial>I checked out the action center po=
sition pretty closely before making this conversion. I just double-chec=
ked it with the original setup again (not that I had ANY doubts! =
;-). It is real close to original - if anything a quarter of a millimet=
er low, so I really don't want to lower it any more.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=3>However, I did incorpor=
ate some of Ron's suggestion (although not the heart of his suggestion)=
- I ran a length of #17-</FONT>1/2<FONT size=3> music wire=
along the bottom side of the flange screw (nice snug fit) an=
d kept the upper brass rod.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have to admit that I still like the idea of h=
aving the full height of the flange intimately contacting the action ra=
il. If nothing else, it will likely make me sleep better at night....</=
