Yamaha flanges (was hammer butt springs)

Yamaha sent me some replacement flanges for the P202, but I did find that I
was going to have to do a lot of traveling with the new parts. At the time
I thought there must be some irregularities in the drilling of the bushing
holes.  That was about 6 months ago. I ended up using the original parts
and doing some repinning and I believe some rebushing. The piano had been
vandalized with quite a few shanks broken off and obviously some messed up
flanges.  I was surprised to find that the new flanges did not work well.
The piano had butt plates and therefore I do not think the traveling
problems had anything to do with the fit at the butt plate. At least I did
not see any problems at the butt plate and slot at the butt.
