Pat - are you going to hand-drill the block? If so, I'd be real concerned about consistency. I don't think I could do a very good job (of course, that doesn't mean someone else could not!). Just don't make 'em as tight as the bass pins on the Inspiration - I'm still waiting for one of those pins to snap clean off (I suspect those holes were not reamed or redrilled)!

At least bring some more sizes of drill bits and test before you drill them all. Marcel Carey Sherbrooke, QC Yeah I'm headed out to do the Imagination this Thursday. I'm planning on using a .272 drill bit for the .276 TP's. From my experience, I would say it's a far cry better than just stuffing in a 1/0 pin into a previously .266 slot. The "green" block is definitely the case here, the wood in the Y's are still very tight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Obtenez votre dose d'information sur votre cellulaire.
