CMAW; Apologies, as I made some assumptions given your post to the Framebuilders forum. But if you got the "listen to what the Frank says" recommendation, that will carry my message well enough. Some other later posts have also posited some other viable fixes which is a good thing also. Hope it works out well...and please post your outcomes...with pictures if possible.
