Jacob Doll action brackets

[Keith Roberts]

I would think that metal wouldn't react to humidity creating a much more
stable bracket. Why doesn't anybody use wood now?
My problem is not so much what to make it out of as
what are the original dimensions? If I cut down the existing brackets, ( a
hack saw and file and 5 minutes),
then I can see how a note is regulating. I was wondering if my procedure of
lowering the hammer rail to the string height minus the expected bore
distance then shimming the whip rail to the proper action spread and height
would work.
