Butt Ugly Wrap-Up

[Keith Roberts]

I looked and I only have 11 of the billings flanges left from when I
rebushed my first piano. Good thing I didn't know any better then. What a
learning experience. Ron is exactly right. Over bend the flange and it will
break. I think your better off finding a pin that fits the flange and ream
the bushing to it. You are welcome to half of what I have if you get
desperate.
