Maybe put the piano description and a photo of the bracket on the web = here--somebody might just have one, it's happened.

Hello everyone, This morning, I had an old action in my action cradle and was working = on shaping the hammers when the top half of the action came loose from = the cradle. I thought it was odd as I knew I had everything snug just a = minute ago.=20 As I move up to replace the top half of the action back into the = cradle, I immediately see what the problem is. The top action bracket = (the one at the extreme treble) has completely cracked off. Now, when I = replace the action in the piano, there will be no way to affix the = bracket to the post (since the bracket is now cracked off). Although = this piano is probably 75 years old and in bad shape, it is priceless to = my customer as it was her grandmother's piano. What are my options here? Eagerly waiting any and all responses!
