To glue in one damper flange of the type which are glued <br>horizontally to the rail,  insert a piece of sponge cut a little<br>thicker than the gap above the flange and wide enough to<br>cover about four flanges.  Then put a little glue on the rail<br> and manipulate the flange into place.  The sponge will hold<br>it until the glue is dry.  Leave the sponge in there,  its too<br>difficult to remove.<br><br>Albert Lord.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 11:32 PM, David Chadwick <<a href="mailto:chadwick61@cox.net">chadwick61@cox.net</a>> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff"> <div><font face="Arial" size="2">Greetings, </font></div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2">I had a Client today who had just moved here (Las Vegas) from N.Y. with a S&S "S" #282863 (1936). In the process of fixing the problems of a really bad rebuilding job I had a damper back action flange come loose. I discovered that this was a flange that was a glued in application. It lays horizontal behind the lever. I tried everything to get it in place and somehow secure it with a drop of glue but it seems impossible to reach once it is in place. Unfortunately I didn't have any CA or instant glue with me or I would've tried that, but it still is hard to get it in proper position. Any suggestions as to how I can repair this without pulling all of the dampers to remove the entire rail? . I fear that more flanges will be following the same failure as this instrument acclimates to the desert so someday it will have to be properly repaired. Would that be a good time to use fasteners or should I stick with the original method.
