Rail Shim Method?

[RicNic]

What is the best way to shim (raise) rails by up to 1/64 inch at one end of the rail and increasing to 1/16 inch at its other end? I am concerned that a shim at each of the three attachment bolts might not be enough to rigidly secure the rail so as to produce a proper ball rebound. For information, it's a 9 foot Canadian Black Crown with new Artemis cushions. Thanks.

For 1/64"th of an inch off of 1 7/16"ths nose height....I wouldn't worry about it

But what about the 1/16 inch low at the other end of the rail?

Call the mechanic back and have him re-install the cushions correctly

10-4 on that one!
And offer to flog him with the old rail rubber if it isn't correct this time!:wink:
