First time I have run into plastic in Badwin products. All of the bass flanges have broken and none of the treble. Could be due to the difference in spring tension on bass dampers. or tose who have not run into this, the flange has a little nub that the eye of the springis captured by. When the nub breaks off the damper stays open. 36 broken >g< Joe Goss BSMusEd MMusEd RPT imatunr at srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com _____ avast!
