I would strongly recommend that the preload load spring be added.
Gunst very clearly stated that the preload spring MUST be used, and said it
would squeal w/o it. He
also recommended against the B&B with bent fingers, saying it would SOMETIMES
squeal. He agreed that
he could not explain why it would sometimes squeal, and believed, in theory, it
should not.
Dick Taylor used the B&B w/o squealing, and also could see no reason why the
B&B with bent fingers
should squeal.
So it's a bit of a mystery. I would say there's a good chance the preload
spring is the problem.
Worth a try anyway.
