  I need two of the round concave nuts that hold on the wood cover that goes over the square grand dampers. In this case there are four of them and two missing. If you know where I can buy these please advise to wippen at ecr.net Many Thanks. 

  Jim,
  First of all, the rail above the dampers is called an Upstop Rail. The brass nuts for those were of all sorts of sizes, shapes and, most importantly, thread configurations. Get a Thread Gauge and determine the exact thread. If it is a "standard" thread....go to the hardware store and get some brass nuts to fit. If they are an odd thread, you'll need to have a machinist make them. BTW, I do have a few somewhere in the "cobwebs", but I'll need to know the thread size. Perhaps I may be able to match them, but that is a stretchhhhhhhh..<G>
