Hi Paul, For that design, I revert to the "archaic" method taught widely pre-1980: remove stack and keys; replace stack on frame; install frame in keybed position; turn up glides so they are all free; place a strip of newspaper between each glide and the keybed in turn, and adjust the glide until it just causes drag on the newspaper when you try to pull it out; remove stack, replace keys, replace stack. It's not as elegant a method as most of us use today, and rather cumbersome, but it gives reasonable results. The weight of the keys fills the gap that was allowed for by the newspaper, and the glides should all be even with one another.
