Let-off rails are usually square or rectangular. Tape the old one over the
new one and drill through if you can.

If the original screws are frozen and can't be moved -- you have tried
heat? -- then clip them off with side cutters just above the surface and
make a paper or Mylar pattern by rubbing. Clean up the side-to-side spacing
as necessary.

  Anyone have any great ideas for how to accurately space screw holes in an
action rail? I need to make a new let-off rail for an old M&H upright and
the only way I can figure to do it is to use the old one as a guide and mark
the new wooden rail. Is there a better way to space?
