Yamaha tracker bar pivot bushing

[Bill Ballard]

I've got a Yamaha C7 (ca '85) whose sostenuto tracker lever is 
scraping against the U.C. shift lever because the nylon bushing for 
tracker lever's pivot pin is bunged out, allowing the lever to wander 
over into contact with the shift lever. According to Yahama this 
piano doesn't exist <wink>.

Does anyone know of the suitable plastic for which I should try to 
find the right size tubing. Or should I simply plug with maple, and 
re-drill for a direct wooden hole for the pivot.

There are some C7s around which "do exist" but I would have to stop 
by to confirm that they used this same style pivot bushing. (Hey, I 
didn't suggest anything dishonest, it was you who was thinking it....)
