hammer rail felt

[Richard Brekne]

You cut them yourself out of dense felt... whatever thickness you feel 
is needed. Get a felt cutter for making it look good... or make one 
yourself.

What screw are you talking about.. the damper rail pedal screw ??  If 
so...it wants a little lost motion, and any adjusment to it needs to 
take into consideration that it actually is supposed to move the damper 
rail in so far... no more nor less.
