Trim Pieces

I have been doing a lot of bright work replacement this year. Having viewed many posts on this I would like to pass along some of my findings. There were many times when first trial fitting the pieces I was sure they were the wrong ones. However after carefully checking it always turned out that they were as close as they were going to get. Each piece seemed to take minor modifacation aka bending,filing ect. Also the mounting locations would need to be slightly adjusted also. These were not drastic alterations but some work combined with paintence was needed to get a good looking installation. So if you have just ordered up a nice new bit, it may not just slide right on but if you give it a chance you will have it looking good. This sounds like pretty common sense but I found myself at first a bit frustrated that the new stuff did not fit perfect, if you find yourself in the same predictiment you are not alone.
