<BR>David,
<BR>
<BR>I used the cord from Schaff, part number 932.
<BR>
<BR>As far as efficiency, I think I'll leave that question to someone who ha=
s done both. My first thought was that it would be quicker to replace =
flanges, but from what I gather, in addition to the removal of the hammer as=
sembly and repinning, there would be some travelling of hammers to contend w=
ith as well.

<BR>The next time I do this job--in a couple of weeks--I should be pretty mu=
ch an expert at it.
