<DIV><BR></DIV>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

<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. Thanks! </FONT></DIV>
