Hi Lee, 

You might consider just replacing those sprung hammers (that's what I did in similar circumstances). The hammers weren't an exact match and I had to add a little strip of felt behind the hammer rail cloth to get them to work/regulate. Maybe someone you know has lots of spares, a junked action you can rob or a partial set that would do.

Hello list, 
I am currently repairing a bentley upright about 40yrs old and the hammer head felts on the bottom 15 hammers have started to come loose, some have come off completely. There are no rivets in the felt they have just been glued on. 

My question is what is the best method to glue/clamp them back on. 

Thanks 
Lee
