A church I serve has had the piece that holds the lock to the lid on their Yamaha C7 pull loose. (I know, I know--after 50+ years tuning, I should know the name of the piece. The book on nomenclature is next on my list to get). I have never run up against this before. But the screws (2 7/16" flat head brass--#12?) do not protrude much into the lid and I'm wondering how well my standard fix for stripped screw holes (leather lining the hole) will hold unless I can find a slightly longer screw. Is any such screw available -- perhaps 1/8" longer? I fear the point pricking the finish of the other side if I go too long. Bill Maxim
