  Hi John,
  To hold the damper flange in place try using a screwdriver flat blade =
beside the flange the thickness that is close to the desired pisotion.

      Hi John,
                   I've run into the same problem.
      Here is how I solved the problem.

      Take off the top damper and remove the flange. Use as a template.
      Take the new flange and mark the forward position of the slot to =
coincide with the sample.
      Use a Japanese pull saw to make a cut in the required position.
      Chip out the excess wood.
      You may have to shorten the overall length of the flange on a disc =
sander. (a probability)
      secondly you may have to elongate the flange screw hole.(another =
probability)
      When reinstalling the flange, it will want to twist since the slot =
is there to hold it in position, so apply some pressure to evenly push =
the flange back into the action when tightening the flange screw.
      Make good and sure that the lever is square with the ones beside =
it, and has not twisted.
      When you can not get matching replacement parts, you are between a =
rock and a hard place so improvise.
      Regards Roger

        Hi List,
        For the full size upright, I can only find one size of flange.
        The centre pin holes are too far from the rail, and the damper =
stands out.
        What can be done to put the dampers on the same plane.
        I can bend the head to fit, but then when the pedal is used, it =
comes off uneven.
        I could use a thicker cloth on the damper lever.
        I guess what I really want to know, is, is there a source for =
other size flanges, or are we stuck with one size?
        I didn't have the chance to repair the old flange, these are a =
few that have been replaced previously.
        Has anyone tried redrilling and rebushing a new position for the =
pin?
        Regards,
