Kimball damper rod hangers

[Arlie D. Rauch]

I've recently run across two vertical Kimballs with broken damper rod 
hangers.  They broke off right at the rod.  It seems that the hanger 
near the rod split perhaps gets more abuse than any of the others and 
eventually gives up.

Are there any repairs for this unique to Kimball?  What is the best 
repair?  At the time I remedied it by drilling out the stuck end and 
replacing it with a modified hinge pin.  They're working now, but I 
don't know for how long.
