Dropped off the (3) bail bumpers at the Post Office yesterday, TJ...

They showed up in yesterday's mail, Fred - that was FAST!

A question: Are they a press fit, or should I use some sort of glue? And if I need glue, what is recommended?

They should be just a press fit, TJ.

As you use the reel, they expand slightly to make a tighter fit.

Some reels and holes may be different sizes over the years — but I doubt it.

If that is the case — just a toothpick drop of a good glue will do.

I use TacGlue or 3M emblem adhesive.  Almost anything will work — but you likely will not need to bother.
