Greetings, I had a Client today who had just moved here (Las Vegas) from N.Y. with a S&S "S" #282863 (1936). In the process of fixing the problems of a really bad rebuilding job I had a damper back action flange come loose. I discovered that this was a flange that was a glued in application. It lays horizontal behind the lever. I tried everything to get it in place and somehow secure it with a drop of glue but it seems impossible to reach once it is in place. Unfortunately I didn't have any CA or instant glue with me or I would've tried that, but it still is hard to get it in proper position. Any suggestions as to how I can repair this without pulling all of the dampers to remove the entire rail? . I fear that more flanges will be following the same failure as this instrument acclimates to the desert so someday it will have to be properly repaired. Would that be a good time to use fasteners or should I stick with the original method. Thanks! Any help, hints or wise cracks pointing out the obvious are greatly appreciated!
