Are the holes in the bushings oval, with large gaps at the rear? If so = then the pins have pulled forward, indicating this piano might be better = off fit to the flange. I'd remove tension just to see what's up before shimming the block fit. = After the tension is lowered see if the pinblock moves back forward = against the flange. If so then the screws are not doing a very good job = of holding it tight on the webbing. Look over the rest of the pinblock anchoring, and try to have a good = feeling for how the piano is built before you decide what to do.
