G. Installing the rubber grommet in the damper tray. With the sustain lever
back in place look down the sustain lever and at the damper tray mark the
location to drill a 23/64” (9 mm) hole for a rubber grommet.
• Locate the rubber grommet, supplied in the kit, and glue in the grommet with
contact cement or super glue.
Step 19: Prepare the sustain lever for
operation
A. Center the sustain pedal rod adjusting screw, and center the 3/4 inch (19
mm) nut on the pedal solenoid. Place the appropriate felt and spacer (if
necessary) between the sustain lever & pedal rod.
B. Prepare the threaded rod. Place a self locking nut on the 8/32” (6.5 mm)
rod with ½” (13 mm) of rod exposed. Glue a flat washer onto the nut for
more support area. Use super glue or contact cement.
C. Measuring and cutting the threaded rod. Place the threaded rod (nut
end) into the grommet on the damper tray. Now pull the dampers down to
the strings and the damper tray up to the damper leavers. Now, mark the
threaded rod, to be cut off flush with the bottom of the sustain lever. At the
same time, mark the location where threaded rod hole will be drilled on the
sustain lever.
D. Marking the area to be cut off on sustain lever. Where the sustain lever
makes contact with the pedal solenoid, mark ¼” (6 mm) past the ¾” nut
contact area and place a mark to cut off excess lever.
E. Drilling threaded rod hole and cutting excess section of lever. Remove
the threaded rod and sustain lever. Drill the sustain lever with a ¼” (6 mm)
drill at the location marked in Step C. Turn the lever over and drill a 23/64”
(9 mm) hole halfway through the lever to receive the rubber grommet. Glue
grommet in place with C & A (super) glue. Cut off excess section of lever
that was described in Step D. Also, at the contact point of the solenoid to
the lever, sand the relief angle off to give a flat contact surface for the
solenoids benefit.
F. Cutting the threaded rod. Cut the threaded rod at the location marked in
Step C. Place a self locking nut onto the rod threaded at a distance of ¾” or
19 mm and glue a flat washer onto the nut.
