Good idea!  I was working on a Mason & Hamlin A...newer...with wiggly pedals.
It had the Steinway style plate on the front of lyre.  I removed the screws by
the pedals don't come out ala Steinway (WHICH I LOVE!!!!).  I had to pull the lyre,
remove the bottom pedal board and then found individual bushed blocks on each side of the pedal.
I wasn't prepared to rebush (no thick bushing cloth)so I ran some thin bushing cloth through the original bushed hole with no glue and it tightened them up temporarily.  I still can't figure out what the removable plate was for?  The Steinway style pedal system is so logical and easy to service, I don't know why it isn't copied?

I had the same problem last spring and ended up making one out of maple - it worked quite well and is not in danger of breaking.

    A colleague, Paul Kupelian RPT, has a customer with a broken plastic pedal bracket from a Kimball LaPetit baby grand.  Schaff lists a similar one on catalog page 131, #2586, but it is way too big.  Any old Kimballshop people out there who may have one around?  Please reply to him privately at pkupeli1@twcny.rr.com.
    Thanks,
    Mike Kurta
