Bob - Thanks for the input. I pulled the chassis last night and found there were also rubber sleeves around each screw. I had a set for my 40-180 handy from Ed and compared them. The originals were slightly shorter and slightly larger diameter. So I think I'll get another set from Ed and just trim down the height to fit. Or leave them full size and let them compress and that may cause the diameter to expand. I'll have to play around with it and see. And it looks 4 of the GPH-46-480 will work for the tuning cap.

I have some #14 cloth that I bought to do a 39-6 with that I never got around to yet. Guess I'll use that for this. Who knows, maybe I'll still have enough for the 39-6. But with my luck, probably not!

I'll check out those YouTube vids as soon as I have some time.
