The rep levers are spaced to the hammer shanks accurately (with the hammers spaced to the strings). Alan You can try to center the cushions over the capstans by tilting the wips. You might need to paper the flange to do that, just like you paper one corner of a hammer flange to move the hammer to the right or lift. (not the same as traveling). The other way to center the capstan under the wippen is to move the front of the key. I just did this on an older D. There were quite a few capstans that were not center under the wippen cushions. So after I tilted the wips as much as I could, I moved the front of the key slightly, and moving some of the keys around them to make sure the keys were still evenly spaced. Also, make sure the keys are level. That can also effect the centering of the capstan.
