Thanks for the hints.  By the way, I got it wrong; that's the wippen =
flange that's cracked, not the hammer flange, as I implied.

  Hi Cy,
  It looks suspiciously like the repair flange #517, on page 99 of the =
Schaff  Catalogue.

    Hi,

    We're working on a 6'4" Chickering grand from the 1900's.  A handful =
of the brass hammer flanges have cracks right at the groove that holds =
the center pin (see attached photos).  What's the best way to repair =
this?  Is it possible to find replacement flanges?  The end of the rep =
lever has a curve in it to match the drop screw of the flange, so I =
wonder if it's possible to replace hammers, shanks, and flanges as a =
unit without affecting the wips, too.

    Thanks,
