List: I have a customer who was given a Sojin DG-1 baby grand - in pieces! The hardware to secure the lyre and the legs is missing. I contacted the local dealer and got 2 "sample" bolts. The 2 lyre bolts are a little longer than the leg bolts. The problem is that these bolts are non standard. They are not metric, as presupposed! Actually they are 1/2" bolts with 12 thread; the standard for a 1/2" bolt is a 13 thread. In metric sizes, neither a 12 or 14 mm bolt fits, and neither does a 175 or 2 thread fit! I suppose I could purchase a drill bit and tap to install standard 9/16 bolts with a 12 thread. How difficult is resizing the hardware these bolts go into? Anybody have any extras? Would a motorcycle or Hyundai dealer be helpful? as these originals are Korean manufacture by Daewoo? Carol Beigel, RPT Greenbelt, MD
