The spoon for fine tuning key lift is a nice touch. The only downside I can see to mounting the capstan on the underlever rather than the tray is the possibility of stressing the centers when adjusting the capstan and the ease of drilling holes in the tray rather than each underlever.

However, if the backaction is being replaced, why not order and install these instead?
