I have been noticing that my saddle isn’t as snug as it should be. I decided I was going to make shims for the retainers as I don’t really like the way you adjust it. When I removed the back one I found it cracked and warped. A new one is only $11 https://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1388
But it’s the same cast iron. I have steel and aluminum on hand. I was thinking steel would be too grabby and not sure about aluminum. Was thinking of getting some brass to make it.
Is there a recommended type of brass? I’m not sure types will matter that much in this situation but if there’s a better one to choose it makes sense to buy that one.
What do you guys think?
