                I used either a dab of bondo or some hot glue to bond 
the FL18s to the piece of wood...a light tap on a chisel separated them 
in a jif.

the fuse. Now I have the pivot holes of the FL16s in the perfect 
position too.

perfect position for the cure?

                I believe using the string...especially w/ your clever 
centering machinement...is a more accurate way to ensure alignment than 
to rely upon the bolts...but use your own judgement.

                In my case, I did NOT remove the FL18s from the piece of 
wood until AFTER they were reduxed and cured in final position.

                Good luck,
