This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Terry, =20 OK, you've measured the contact area, but my other concern was with ease of installation. I have a problem figuring out how it will be to hold those rods in place when you install the flanges. My other concern was what if these rods get imbedded and then loose and rattle? I still think it would have been easier to glue a piece of wood on the rail so you wouldn't have to hold anything while installing the flanges. Let us know how things turn out. =20 Marcel -----Message d'origine----- De : pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] De la part de Farrell Envoy=E9 : 5 f=E9vrier 2006 16:45 =C0 : Pianotech List Objet : Re: Brass Rail to Wood Flange Conversion Okay guys, please help me understand here. I'm understanding both Ron and Marcel to suggest that the butt flange in the picture below does not have sufficient contact with the action rail. Marcel goes further to suggest, that because of a lack of contact, the metal rods will imbed themselves into the flange and rail and the flange screws will continually loosen. =20 This system has quite a bit of contact between the flange and action rail. The two entire rectangular areas (about 12mm x 5mm each) of the flange above the flange screw and below the screw are in intimate contact with the action rail. Plus it also has the limited surface area of the wires. That's not enough? =20 =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
