Turns out the dolls head isn't touching anything anyway, so I'll ignore it, right, wrong or indifferant.

I formed up a .004" shim and slipped it into the hooks and the gun came up on face perfectly.
I cleaned and fluxed the hooks, plugged the chambers and filled the tubes with water... and the solder wouldn't flow and tin the hooks. Just globbed up and created a mess. Pissed me right off. So I scrapped out the globs of solder and cleaned the surfaces back up. clamped in the shim with a steel dowel the same size as the hinge pin and packed around the lugs with soft wax then JB welded the shim in.

I'll know tonight when I take the clamp off if its going to work. If the shim pops off while I'm trimming it up... back the drawing board.
