<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I checked out the action center position =
pretty
closely before making this conversion. I just double-checked it with =
the
original setup again (not that I had ANY doubts! ;-). It is =
real close
to original - if anything a quarter of a millimeter 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 =
incorporate 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) and 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 having
the full height of the flange intimately contacting the action rail. =
If
nothing else, it will likely make me sleep better at =
night....</FONT></DIV>

cut-out?</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
