Hi Ray,

Actually, the nuts (Acetal) were made in my shop - I just tapped the 
material.  I WANTED backlash as I will need to test out that 
component of the software I am working on.  The bad part is, there 
isn't any measurable backlash.  I am sure it will wear in, but it 
sort of cramps the testing and development of that feature till it 
happens :-(

Chris
