By examining it, it looks funky in the middle.  Plus it will not hold the hook with the red felt in the correct positinon.  When I turn it to the correct position, the bracket just flips back so that the  hook is pointing in the wrong direction.  Would a new spring with less stretch in it hold it tighter and in place?  When I took out the spring, it felt flimsy or whimpy in the middle, like a weak slinky.  I don't recall seeing a guid pin on the right but do know exactly what you mean.  The problem I ran into was as I mention the hook with the felt in it that the rod slpis into wil lnot stay in the correct position leading me t o think that the spring is bad. I Hope the pic. is big enough.  thanks <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><br><font size="3" face="Arial">Marshall<br id="ecxFontBreak"></font><br><br><em><font size="3" face="Arial">Marshall Gisondi</font></em><br><em><font size="3" face="Arial">MARSHALL'S PIANO SERVICE</font></em><br><em><font size="3" face="Arial">215-510-9400</font></em><br><em><font size="3" face="Arial"><a href="http://www.phillytuner.com" target="_blank">http://www.phillytuner.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font></em><br><br></div><span><muffler rail.png></span></div></blockquote></div><br><div> </div> <br></div></body></html>
