Thanks Brian, I was wondering which left was meant. I checked mine and the indexed screw was in the proper side, I swapped them and they were both off. It appears as though the left was over tightened at some point. I haven"t researched a fix for that yet as I am looking at a cracked wrist. I posted some pics in the Restoration section of it. I am not sure of my best course of action. Thanks, John
