those pesky nose bolts, now locate guide rail.

[Fenton Murray]

Of course, but there is usually room for improvement. Actually the guide 
rail is very easy to make, a new cap even easier. It sounds like plugging 
the holes in the belly rail before installing the SB, then making a new cap 
should become my new SOP.
Thanks all,
Fenton
