Greetings -

A customer of mine had his Horugel grand "professionally" stored while
remodeling was taking place in his home.  (I know, it being a Horugel, he
would have done well to leave it stored, but alas....)  Upon returning
the piano late last week, the professionals discovered that they lost the
leg bolts, leaving them no option other than to leave the piano up on its
side in the living room.  Not what the missus had pictured, to be sure. 
I have been asked by the storage facility to remedy the problem, at their
expense.

BY ANY CHANCE, does anyone have any idea what size of threaded bolt may
have been used on these?  It is approximately 15-20 years old, I would
guess.  I only know from talking to the storage people that it is a
machine bolt, metric, no doubt,  that threads up into threaded metal
inserts in the case bottom.  I plan on going armed with a variety of
sizes to see what fits, but if anyone knows anything that may narrow the
field a bit, I would be most grateful.
