Mason & Hamlin damper lift rod

[ARTHUR CHICKERING]

Pianotech,
I have a customer who has a Mason & Hamlin console made in 1947.  It has
a damper lift rod part which is broken.  It is the part which the
hangers on the rod go into which has a felt bushing.  This part has a
slot which is adjustable and can tear out.  I was wondering if anyone
has seen this before and if a suitable replacement part is available, if
not,is there something I could use in its place?
Any solutions or ideas on how I can make this repair would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
