getting the x-bar wasnt bad, I measured the rod and it's 1/16" below the rod and 1/32" thru the x-member and to the little cap at the top just behind the needle.

I have a friend that has a machine shop, so I could make a small sleeve that is drilled on both sides, one side 1/16" and then 1/32" up thru the bar, and thru the small brass bushing. One issue is the small cap at the end, that slides into the needle. Does this come off. Or I can drill out the cross bar 1/16, and sleeve it above the bar.

Ideas? Clem
