Nails work just fine but you should solder it in place.

How do you repair a broken damper rod hook?  I had two of them silver
soldered by someone else.  One has lasted for many years.  But the most
recent one only held for about 4 weeks.  One my mentors from way back told
of using a smooth nail of the correct diameter bent at a 90 degree angle
fitted into the rod.  Schaff has replacement pins which are straight.  I
assume they have to be bent after installation.  They're very inexpensive,
but a minimum order would have to be placed.  Has anyone else tried the
nail approach?  Any other suggestions?

Thanks for any ideas!
