I beg your pardon.. you said simply "lever flange", and packing the hammer rail has been mentioned several times along with the whippen. It really is quite easy to get these kind of things crossed up in such a forum to begin with John. You dont need to start getting down on folks because of a simple misunderstanding. Mine here was based on the fact that you were compensating for the difference in lengths from the hammer flange center to the hamer flange screw hole.... so I figured thats the flange you were talking about. Please excuse... Sheeesh.... Personally, I wouldnt move the whippen longer out if it was in the proper place to begin with just because the spread is wrong. If the spread is wrong and its because the hammer flange center is in the wrong place... then thats the one to correct.

I think you need to read the thread again and pay a bit of attention. Nobody's taking about the hammer flange.
