The last new S&S keyslip I got came without mortices and needed to be trimmed for thickness and pins inserted. If you can’t inlay you probably can’t do the other items. And sorry, the screw through the slip into the block is just not the right approach. It ends reasonable adjustment for clearance. Better to repair with inlay, mind the grain orientation, remortice, and adjust screws and pins for clearance.

The dovetail-type grooves that fit over the screws are both broken off. I have some ideas about fixing it, but thought I’d tap into the collective knowledge of those who have done it with success!
