Phil raises a good point and this is the time to install inserts in the TA.
The easiest way to do it is with Rick Patton's TA Repair Kit
(http://www.pattonmachine.com/TA-Repair-Jig.htm) This jig makes repairing
all 12 holes so easy and you'll get perfect alignment every time. A lot of
the guys in 6-Pack have bought this kit and swear by its simplicity and
accuracy. A lot of clubs have also bought it and have it available to their
members.
