Patrick, that I believe is a Woods & Brooks action. I see damper levers
for it but not jacks, so you probably can, but I would get one out and
compare lengths to be sure you don't have regulation problems. Measure
both from the center pin to the top and from there to the bottom of the
flange as well as overall length. You may have to modify either to
have it fit right. Some of these strange beasts had extra long flanges
that are not available now, but you can lengthen a flange by cutting a
lap joint and glueing extra wood on the bottom then duplicating the guide
slots in the new wood. Actually, it would be better to cut the slot
first and adjust the length at the lap joint. Use a neighbor part as your
guide. Cut it to shape with a hobby razor saw, dremel tool or utility
knife.
<p>Hope this helps.
