After clean up and repainting & rewicking of my 11" I was truing up the tailstock to the headstock and I see that my headstock is LOWER than the TS.
I would have not thought this, I figure the ways and tailstock would have been worn and would be HIGHER.
Since the Headstock only has the one bolt at the rear and the 2 under the spindle, I can place shims
under these feet or would I have to place shim material down both sides front to rear to bring it to the hight of the tailstock?

Yes the ways were taped off when painted, later when assembled, any burrs were removed and the vee and flats were cleaned with the rubberized sanding blocks to remove any discoloration or films.
same was done to the head stock and tail stock machined areas, all were free of burrs , debires, rust , nothing but nice metal
showing.
Sorry for typing it wrong the first time, as that was the way one would have thought it would have been.
