This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi again, I had to level a plate yesterday on a grand. The soundboard is out, and = a new one in process. The pinblock is made and fitted. So I decided = that now would be a good time to find a nice place for that plate to = sit. I couldn't find the right size screws for the plate holes to = adjust from the top. So here's what I did. Where the plate sits on the little dowels, I put in an old capstan, like = would be in a key. The type I used had the little holes for the little = pointy tool instead of the ones that need the little wrench, but it = didn't matter. I had taken measurements of where the old dowels were = before, so that's where I started. I put them somewhere in that = vicinity. (nothing critical). Stuck in the pinblock, and then the = plate, screwed the pinblock to the plate (and case), and proceeded to go = around the case (from underneath) and adjust those little capstans (as = well as the studs from the beams) until it was all setting all nice and = level. Pretty simple, but it worked so easily. (Wouldn't have worked with the = soundboard in, but with it out, it worked quite nicely.) It took about = 2 minutes to subtract the thickness of the soundboard from the = measurements of the capstan heights, and now I have a nice list of = exactly how high to make those dowels. Just thought I'd pass it along. Have a good day! Brian Trout Quarryville, Pa. btrout@desupernet.net ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
