Installing Turrets

[PCollen]

A good way i found to do it that keeps them from bending and allows a solid hit with a punch to secure it real well is to use the *right* strap button from a guitar ....(snip).

Thanks for giving me this idea. I went to a local music store today, and bought a "right" strap button for $1....and it's GOLD!! Whoo-whoo...

I use a socket from out of my 1/4" set. The right one clears the turret, but not the base, therfor sitting on the 'shoulders' of the base. Works well, for when you are doing singles like this. Bit arduous to do a complete board tho..
