Rick, My approach would be to modify the entire system. This, I would do, by removing all of the dampers and the back action. With all of the levers still glued to the rail, I would drill an appropriate hole through the flange, to the depth of the rail, plus the "v" of the drill bit into the rail, as a future guide for the thread drill holes. Then, I'd pop off all the levers, (first numbering all of them.<G>). Next, I'd drill the thread holes in the rail. Next, I would install 120 grit sand paper with appropriate holes punched out for the screw holes. Reinstall all levers and then reinstall the backrail into the piano. The only other alternative would be to get a new kit for the back action from Renner. I've tried to reglue those suckers with all the dampers in the way, etc. It's a fool's errand, imo. Hope that helps. Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: To: joegarrett at earthlink.net Sent: 1/31/2013 5:16:50 AM Subject: Fwd: Steinert grand Joe, I'm forwarding this question over to you.

No screws , it lays flat on a shelf. Rick Ucci Uccipiano.com 609-677-0444 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
