Chris;

It looks like it may come to that. I am no stranger to fine-tuning
parts with a BFH. I'm sure I could improve on what I've got now. I
was just hoping that someone could get things truly concentric for a
nominal charge. I've done plenty of bicycle wheels, I'm sure the
procedure is about the same, only with a hammer instead of a spoke
wrench.
