Rob, What you have is Pratt-Read S-2 Action parts. Because the damper lever is so short, the alignment is not as critical compared to a full size action. As Del said, it's a matter of lining up the levers by the damper felt type and the "spread" of the wire bends. I've found that it is actually easier to remove all of the hammers and hammer spring rail when re-installing the levers. Makes for easier fine bending of the wires in alignment. Of course get the damper felt to go straight into the wire. And, adjust the lift before anything else, (unless it's way out of wack.<G>) I'm amazed that there are still some of these actions that haven't been junked or repaired! I think they breed freely when we're not looking.<G> i.e. gremlins! Although, the damper flange replacement is the more difficult of the "plastic flange" debacle, it's still pretty straight forward.
