Jon: I had a similar problem with a large flared leg, where the cups were too small. A larger cup is available from Jansen. FWIW. Paul McCloud San Diego The S&S A yesterday posed a particular problem. The bottoms of the legs were 5" round, too large for the square cups on the truck. I didn't want the piano sitting on their somewhat thin edges, so I made supports. The day before, I removed a leg to measure the dimensions of the 'cup' in the bottom of the leg. I made three conical-shaped blocks to support the weight and register the legs securely on the truck. I bolted these to the arms with 7/16" bolts. The legs rested soundly. ( I forgot to bring my camera). The support blocks measured: H = 1 11/16", Tapering: 2 1/4" to 3 3/4~7/8". I made an extra set to place on a truck which I installed last summer. This one, same large round legs; I only used long 5/16" bolts to extend up into installed sockets to keep the legs secured to the truck. I prefer the support these block provide. It was this job which got me to thinking of these blocks. I'll try to remember the camera this time.
