I was reading this earlier today http://www.acousticguitar.com/ubbcgi...;f=12;t=002849 and people were suggesting that that's what they are. I'm glad they've worked out for you

I think I'm gonna go with the guaged nut files from Stewmac (not the double-sided ones), mainly because the UK luthiers i know use them and recommend them. I just need to decide which sizes.
