Noisy bridle straps

[fndango@azstarnet.com]

The strap holes can be glue-sized without irreveribly gluing the straps
to the wires. A problem I find more than noisy straps is straps on the
Baldwins which only had a bump in the wire instead of a loop. When the
hole enlarges the strap tends to slide down the wire and hold the wippen
up enough that the jack can't get under the hammer butt. A small amount
of thin CA glue works for me. The trick is not getting so much on that
it makes it hard to remove the strap.
