Stocking up P14

[Doco overboard]

My thoughts exactly but I cannot find precisely where it is touching because it is a finnicky spot anyway. Ive really hit it with a mallet to try and budge it or swage the wood at least a little so i can pinpoint the problem but with no luck.

Guess I'll just have to poke and prod until I find it.

Nijalninja,

Get a wooden stick or dowel and pulverize the end of it. Soak it in kerosene for a minute or more until it acts as a wick and then light it on fire.
You can then use the soot to blacken your parts and then get a good transfer of fit to the wood.

A light spray or wipe of some sort of oil to metal will allow the smudge to attach to the parts for in- letting black substitute.
