<div>Avery,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I always carry a drill bit and a little pin vise around in case I have to do a flange bushing repair. Turns out to be the right size for drilling out an old jack plug and loop on an old Brambach-style wippen setup. (I forget the bit size, and my kit's in the car...sorry!)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I fashoned plugs out of a hammer shank using my pocket knife, and used the standard Schaff cord to make the loop. You need to use a healthy length of thread and cut it afterward, otherwise poking it through the hole can be a bit of a pain! Using a toothpick or other pointed object to get it through saves time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I did three of them in a little over half an hour. It was an on -the-job learning experience, though. One of those where you say, "no problem" before you see it, and you get there expecting a tight flange of some sort or a low rep. lever. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope this helps.,</div>

<div class=AOLPlainTextBody id=AOLMsgPart_0_558bec22-1798-4efb-bc5c-b37ee8089fa7>List, <br>
<br>
I have a customer with a Baldwin SD-10 #269432, who now has a third jack spring loop broken. I "think" that's what it's called. It's the loop on the back side of the jack that the spring hooks in to. <br>
<br>
Does anyone have a good way to redo those in the field? I usually take it back to my shop and replace the loop but it would be a lot simpler if I could repair it in the home. Any ideas? Thanks. <br>
<br>

<br>
P.S. I'd like to just replace all the wippens and be done with it! :-) <br>
