The joint goes toward the back of the piano, not the top or bottom. Coat the felt with PVC-E or melamine and pull it through. Leave a "tail" about 10 to 15 mm long on the side that the rod will be on and glue it back to the bracket. (Prevents the rod from rubbing against the bracket and making a whole bunch of noise. While the glue is still somewhat wet, push a pin of the correct size into the bushing and leave it there until the glue is dry. You may need to devise a clamp to hold the tail against the bracket. Don't clamp it very tight, just enough to hold it. You'll know after the first one. Should work just fine. -- ddf
