Changing the White Line pad on my Ideal for an Old English black; looks much better.

The fit at the heel is almost perfect and the toe requires sanding. When I screwed it on, the pad is a RCH to the right, i.e. the stock is "higher" by that amount on the left side and the pad is "higher" on the right side.

I did not heed Pachmayr's advise to plug old hole and drill new ones, what with the retracting sling and all...

Any suggestions will be appreciated. (Of course I don't want to sand the stock to fit the pad) :-)

It just occured to me that I could slightly enlarge sideways the hole on the metallic plate the pad has and thus I'll be able to move it a RCH to the left and make it fit.

Any drawbacks, apart from the fact that the pad could end up moving sideways if
not properly fixed?

Since you already have the pad ground to fit, I'd enlarge the hole sideways as you suggested. If necessary, add a small amount of glue to lock the pad in place.

Why not plug and redrill the original screw holes in the stock?

Jim, which glue (or type of glue) would you suggest that is not too aggressive?

TD, the stock has the carving necessary to insert the retracting sling mechanism
so, considering it is only a RCH that is needed I'd rather not tamper with it.

Thank you for the feedback.

The reason I suggested or agreed with JC's idea is that with the pad already cut, he'd have to drill the new hole exactly right or still have the problem. If you hog out the hole you can simply move it over the needed amount. Maybe just a small dab of silicone glue?

Why not hog out the hole in the stock, mask the inside of the pad, coat the screw in release agent, and bed it in epoxy? Clamp Pad in place, sleep onit and it'll be better in the morning?

RCH?? Do I want to know?? I think I have the second two...

JC, rubber cement would work well enough for the application at hand and be very easily removable anytime you are so inclined. I think your suggested solution is the easiest and least troublesome way to go.

David, the available space does not allow for "hogging" the holes. Thanks for the
suggestion anyway, I'll keep it in mind for further use. What should one use as a
release agent for epoxy?

BTW, the R was added by DT some time back and refers to the provider maybe being Irish. He also mentioned, if I remember right, that it was less than a plain CH. :-)

The Irish ones will cause you great trouble after a few years.
No more than most tho.

Careful file work might work, why not just plug the hole?
