New Underlever installation

[David Love]

I'm not sure why anyone would replace the underlevers without replacing the
tray?  Yes, I do replace the tray.

I've never seen that but then all the Renner underlevers I've installed
have been along with the new Renner tray.  I'm sure if you're keeping
the old Steinway tray from their "short arm" levers and replacing them
with Renner levers there would be a problem.  Are you replacing the
tray?

Frequently when installing new Renner underlevers I run into the problem
that the new sostenuto tabs extend farther out than the old ones.
Moving
the sostenuto rod in far enough to allow for proper regulation often
results
in clearance problems between the backchecks and the sostenuto rod
itself.
What is the best way to modify the original set up such that I don't
create
other problems.
