Hi Arthur, If I understand correctly, you would need to order an upright damper rod hinge APSCO part # 24448A (7/8" wide) or #24448B (3/8" wide). Order a dozen of the B part numbers. Sooner or later you will run into a Pratt Read action which has broken synthetic hinges and you will want to replace with these metal ones.

It has a damper lift rod part which is broken. It is the part which the hangers on the rod go into which has a felt bushing. This part has a slot which is adjustable and can tear out. I was wondering if anyone has seen this before and if a suitable replacement part is available, if not,is there something I could use in its place? Any solutions or ideas on how I can make this repair would be appreciated. Thanks, Arthur Chickering Rockland,Maine
