(ahem),  Steinway offers a variety of parts,and there have been stock parts 
sent me that certainly did not fit.  The jack/hammerflange contact is not 
unheard of.  Your problem is more likely in the rails than the parts.  If the 
hammerflange rail is just slightly rotated, there is interference.  The pin to pin 
distance may be correct, but the flange will be out of place.  Ususally when 
this happens, the drop screws are turned all the way up.  If no new parts are 
available, you can often stop the problem by removing the proximal half of the 
jack, near the top.
