Bruce,

I've never replaced a bracket on a Kawai, but I have had to replace a couple
on Y. Changs for a different reason.  If you haven't messed with the
regulation, and you can get the exact, and I mean exact match for the broken
bracket, you should be OK.  My caution would be to leave as much of the
regulation as is until you replace the part.  You'll only be creating more
work later.  You might consider ordering a set of brackets just in case <g>..

Good luck!!
