  Hi Jon Page.
  In one case I removed new tokiwa shanks with 16 mm knuckle placement 
combined with new & way to heavy Renner blues bored to long on an old Stwy style 2. 
Brand new , with no wear. The hammers are recylable. I don't like tokiwa 
shanks but.... Then there is the B action with Renner 15.5 shanks & too heavy too 
juiced something urutheres. Hammers in trash. PIano getting everthing including 
new shanks. 
  I have 3 minimum wage helpers who can do this job cheap so why through out 
4oo bucks worth of basically new parts? You know?

Why not put identical weight hammers on new shanks.
(Unless the shank length is not generic).
This way you have a prehung set for some other job.
