I have a customer with a 6'4" 1911 Chickering grand that has brass hammer 
shank and wippen flanges. They are OK, but at that age, one never knows. I 
have two choices. Heat treat the flanges or replace them with wooden ones. 

I have never tried the heat treatment. Anyone with some suggestions, or is 
willing to do it?

If I were to replace the shank flanges, what do I get? What about the wippen 
flanges, Which ones replace those?

Any help will be appreciated.
