[Public-List] good news and bad news

[Richard Mair]

What I did George was mix graphite with west system, clean and wax the bolt
and assemble and let dry. The play dissapeared. I am hoping the graphite
will act as a bushing.  With the bolts I wax the threads and put them in
with thickened west epoxy and they will be removeable after. The shoe is
easy enough to remove so I will know how ot all holds up at the next haul.
