Hey Curt I did not shim the carriage but the rail on the lead screw side . The rail was a little twisty, on my 1200 the plastic slide that is screwed to the carriage sort of looks like a top hat well the rim of the hat would get sticky in the twisty rail. The red short pieces that are between the two outer rails have a nub in the center to locate them on the rails that they support I put an .008" shim on one side to straighten the rail out it made a huge difference. I never understood from the beginning why the machine needed that much lubrication when the plastic slides were made from that oil impregnated slippery stuff to begin with at least for me my dyna-glyde days are over. I hope my explaination makes sense I finally can put pictures on the internet but in this case there is no good way to do it bob On Tuesday, January 8, 2013 7:58:51 PM UTC-5, Brandon Khoury wrote: > > I haven't had the opportunity to try Dynaglide, but I have a couple > questions.
