Wow! Where to start? Why do the bridges need duplication? Why 
do you want to remove the bridges for duplication, rather than 
recapping them in situ? Why do you consider the soundboard to 
be fine, when the bridges aren't? Etc, etc, etc.

None that I'm aware of that work, but then I've never removed 
a soundboard with the intention of putting it back in. What's 
the story here?
