Any >suggestions greatly appreciated <rmiller@en.com> >...Rolland Miller, Miller Piano Service, >North Ridgeville, OH PTG/RPT & MPT. >Rolland Miller at rmiller@en.com Take some parallel pliers, squeeze the Billings flange shut with the chosen center pin in it. The center pin should not turn. When this has been achieved, the center pin bushings in the hammer butt can then be sized as needed to the existing center pin size in the Billings flange. In working with these new flanges, you should eventually be able to determine which center pin size will work for most of the flanges after experimenting with a few.
