If I'm not mistaken you also posted some jigs a while back that you made out of styrene to speed up the process Doc.
For posterity would you mind throwing them up here too?
I should add that I built about 14 of these kits when I first started thinking about trains and a layout. One thing that help with installing the plastic grabs a lot of times was to carefully ream out the hole with an appropriate sized drill bit. It makes it so much easier to get the grab in the pre-drilled holes in the first place. Saved me a lot of aggravation and I didn't break anymore grabs.
