<blockquote type=cite cite>Hi John,<br>
I've run into the same problem.<br>
Here is how I solved the problem.<br>
<br>
Take off the top damper and remove the flange. Use as a template.<br>
Take the new flange and mark the forward position of the slot to coincide
with the sample.<br>
Use a Japanese pull saw to make a cut in the required position.<br>
Chip out the excess wood.<br>
You may have to shorten the overall length of the flange on a disc
sander. (a probability)<br>
secondly you may have to elongate the flange screw hole.(another
probability)<br>
When reinstalling the flange, it will want to twist since the slot is
there to hold it in position, so apply some pressure to evenly push the
flange back into the action when tightening the flange screw.<br>
Make good and sure that the lever is square with the ones beside it, and
has not twisted.<br>
When you can not get matching replacement parts, you are between a rock
and a hard place so improvise.<br>

<blockquote type=cite cite>Hi List,<br>
For the full size upright, I can only find one size of flange.<br>
The centre pin holes are too far from the rail, and the damper stands
out.<br>
What can be done to put the dampers on the same plane.<br>
I can bend the head to fit, but then when the pedal is used, it comes off
uneven.<br>
I could use a thicker cloth on the damper lever.<br>
I guess what I really want to know, is, is there a source for other size
flanges, or are we stuck with one size?<br>
I didn't have the chance to repair the old flange, these are a few that
have been replaced previously.<br>
Has anyone tried redrilling and rebushing a new position for the
pin?<br>
