[pianotech] Replacement screw, was nasty screw....

I don't have a screw Gauge, but #15 sounds about right. But if you measure a #15, and the shank isn't 1/4" and the head is't 7/16" across, can you find one that does measure that? 
I already said oval, but it doesn't make much difference whether its steel or nickel. The pressure bars and screws are rusty and corroded, and because the rust and corrosion was caused by salt air, they can't be cleaned. So other than cleaning off the dust, the originals are going back on. A nice clean nickel plated screw would out of place. Have you got an old, nasty looking one?

Thanks for taking care of the shipping. I owe you a beer in Seattle, (Actually Bellingham).

he screw is oval head, 2 1/2" long,with a 1/4 shank at the throat and a
/`16" head. I'll be more than happy to reimburse you for "shipping and
andling""
Wim,
nly IF, you drag out the Screw Gauge you got in Vegas and really MEASURE
he screw! If I sent you a 2 1/2" Screw w/a 1/4" shank, that would probably
e a #15 Screw. A bit large for a pressure bar situation, imo.<G> Also,
ould you like a Flat Head Screw or an Oval Head Screw? Also, would you
ike plain steel or Nickel Plated?<G> I think you get the
dea....more/accurate information is needed.<G> As for the "shipping &
andling", .....Nah, It'll be for ol' times sake.<G>
est,
