I think I would = use 3/8, sink the insert rather deep with an Allen wrench and use = machine screws. You could use the lyre as a template to drill. Photo = attached.

This is the = one that they didn't bend: You would think it would be easy enough to find a screw, but I'm = finding I can't even special order this thing, at least from the usual = sources. Everyone tells me it's an antique. (Geesh, it's not even 100 = years old...) HELP! Does anyone know where I can get a screw like = this? Perhaps someone has one sitting around that they might be willing = to send me? Any help/leads would be greatly appreciated! Short of that, I'll probably be drilling out, epoxying threads in = place, and using machine screws. Peace, Sarah PS Don't even ask what they did to the lid! Fortunately it needed = refinishing anyway. They're usually much more professional than that. ------=_NextPart_002_001E_01C51BF5.E65B7CA0 An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
