Hi List, 
Any do's and don't regarding the reinforcement of damper back action
flanges? 

I just don't want to have ANY flanges come loose after new damper felt and
regulation work is done. 
Piano in question is a Steinway M getting all new action parts (except back
action), damper felt, block and restring. 

I have used CA glue to 'shore up' the glued flanges in the past.  
Has anyone tried drilling through the glued flanges; then dowel and glue
them in place? Is that overkill? 

As always, THANKS for your collective wisdom!

Best regards,
Brad Smith, RPT
