Hi Elwood,
Get the pedal set that is slightly longer than the original and a one =
piece hanging bracket as well as the different heights of single =
hangers. The brackets are not that costly and will make a good source of =
information for future repairs.
It is always easier to replace with a longer set if there is room and =
the feel will not change that much like a shorter lever will.

  Hey guys,
  Have a problem.  I have three broken pedals off of two uprights.  One =
is a Grinnell console built in the mid-40's with two pedals.  Both have =
been broken about 1'' behind the horn.  The length of the pedals are 8 =
1/2" with 5 1/8" from horn to center of pin.  The other is an old =
upright, the right pedal broken just behind the horn.  Dimensions;  9 =
1/2" long; 5 9/16" from horn to center of pin.  All three pedals have =
been brazed or welded.  What's the chance that they can be repaired and =
how difficult is it to weld/braze them?   What about replacing with new =
pedals?  None in Schaff fit the dimensions of either size pedal.

  Any ideas?
  Joy!
