I finally got my bushing today and was able to turn something other than slimlines. I have some European kits, so I turn one of those. Finally made one for myself! I'll post pics later...I think it turned out nice but had a couple of questions.
1. When turning the tenon for the center band, do most of you turn it exactly the width of the center band or leave it a little short so the center band overlaps the bottom barrel too?
2. When inserting the transmission, I had to push it way farther in than usual (for me). The slimline directions say to push it in to that first little circle mark near the bottom but when I did that, the ink was still 1/4" up there...I had to press the transmission about 1/4" farther in than for slimlines...is this correct?
Thanks for your help.
