    Several years ago Isaac gave me several of these as an alternate way to correct and adjust generally wooden pedal lyre brace rods that are loose and falling out instead of replacing them. They work perfectly. My question today, since I can, sadly 😢, no longer ask Isaac, is what are these called, and where can I find them? These are my last two and I need a couple more. I realize I neglected to include a reference object in this pic but they are about 3/4" across from flat side to flat side, and the cup is about 1/2" deep.

    Without checking their website, I believe PianoTek has them. If not, check with the Erwins.

    AHA! 
    Never occurred to me that this might be a specialty item. Explains why I could not find it in hardware stores. 
    Thanks.
