A shortcut for banjo assembly

[john in illinois]

This is not my idea. Tom Endy uses it in his model A tutorial. For those who have not seen it,Make up10 3/8-24 studs. Screw these studs into banjo,put on gasket,put on axle bell. This keeps gasket centered and it is much easier to line up holes. No more catching the edge of the paper and cutting it or tearing it.
If it is a test fitting put nuts on the studs and tighten. For final assembly remove studs and put in bolts.
