  Ah grasshoppah, you're one kit short. Tokiwa Parts Kit (P-tech, Brooks).
  (Don't feel bad, I have yet to get the Abel Kit).

  I will have to get one. I didn't know there was such a beast. Thanks. I have heard good things about Tokiwa parts.


  Looking at the configuration of the whippen, I would have included the
  Tokiwa M&H w/ adj. spring assist for consideration.  If these are used,
  you could remove one of the leads near the outer end because the spring
  will support the weight of the whippen effecting at least a -10 g on FW.

  I'll have to keep that in mind. I've never used wippen springs. Is it the case that they are usually only used on the lower portion of the keyboard? How far up can they sucessfully be used? I'll try more moving things around and see how things shake out. If I am still with lots of lead in the bass, then maybe that would be a good route to tame that area down.


  Either the Abel or Tokiwa kit has a M&H shank with the knuckle at 18 mm,
  17 mm might be all you can squeeze out of it though, try many configurations
  to ascertain which provides the best regulation and lowest friction.

  Will do.


  If you find a shank to regulate well but the flange doesn't fit the rail,
  alter the rail by removing or adding material on the indexing edge.



  You mean like in the picture above? I already did that once to the hammer rail on this action to mate with the Abel flanges. You mean modify this #$&% rail again?!?!?!  What was it a famous philosopher once said....... "measure once, cut twice"..... yeah, that must be it.  ;-)

  Measure twice. cut once. Don't let this happen to you,
  "Hey Moe, I cut it twice and it's still too short."
  "Ya moron, it's only short on one end."
