Abstract
The grafting procedure of §6 provides us with a family of almost self-dual connections centered about any point y ∈ M. Now we want to perturb these to produce self-dual connections. Let D be an almost self-dual connection (we define this notion precisely later), and let F denote its curvature. Then the curvature F A of a perturbation D + A is
whereby the anti-self-dual part of F A is
