Serge,
The thing I have done on Kawais is to make the knuckle smaller.  This
does two things.  It allows you to raise the capstans which brings
the capstan/wippen contact point into compliance, and concerning the line
running from the hammer flange center to the wippen flange center,
brings the knuckle closer to that line at let-off.  The effect of
this is that the action is lighter.  BTW, you will also have to raise
the drop screws.
