A friend of mine had some success with this method.  He used nylon blocks to 
make custom replacement brackets.  It is very strong, will outlive the piano, 
and won't appreciably change with the seasons.  He cut them into slabs as 
thick as the original brackets and used the old brackets for a guide to make 
new ones with a band saw.  As has been said previously, if your old brackets 
are very distorted, you may have to do a little calculating to get the 
optimum geometry.

Good Luck
