Boy I don't read too well, it was the ones without plates.
Glad I added the extra.

  If anyone is trying to find replacement hammer flanges for Yamaha and Kawai uprights, Pacific Piano (818-700-2100) can now supply them (made by Tokiwa). They also have lots of other action parts, some of which are not yet shown in their catalog.

  Does anybody have a technique for replacing hammer return spring cords on pianos--mostly consoles, I would think--that have wood flanges without the screw-in center pin holding plates?  Is it a better bet to replace the flanges?  I would think so, but I think the time might end up being a wash, and I hate to waste materials...besides, if it's a grey market unit, getting parts might be a problem.

  Any tips or suggestions are more than welcome.

  Thanks

  Dave,

              I'm the list resident   "replace the cords not the flanges expert" -self appointed I might add--- but on the actions without the butt plates I will be replacing flanges from now on. 

              You are correct about the time issue.
