John, I appreciate your advice. I plan on doing this, making up my own on a
lathe. That way I can nail the tolerances, spacing, etc. What material are
yours made of, and what kind of clearance did you end up with between the
rockers and the towers? I am guessing .015 would be all you need for
expansion from heat.
By the way, do most people respond off line to keep the volume down? Being a
newbie I have no idea. Stephen
