Trying to bend cast anything is like walking on thin ice. Cast brass pedals I've had success with but cast aluminum or zinc I'd expect to just simply just break.
As for aligning them ..... they were a bad idea when they came off the assembly line. The key has no doubt warped a bit with age causing alignment issues I'm assuming. Additionally the bushing felts may be a contributing factor. A Dremel and some time grinding the screw holes to accommodate your desires is all that comes to mind. It's been about 30 years since I've done any.
As for calling them a sticker instead of a rocker arm ................ the catalog calls them a rocker arm. That's how that part is found in the catalog. Being correct on this isn't going to help any. Being wrong however, might get you a very high paid public service job.
Carry on.

Can the Weaver spinet rocker arms be bent? As you can see from the photo, it didn't work on this old part, but I got some from Schaff that are a different design (zinc?). The old ones looked like aluminum. Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to bend them to align with the whippen.
