Could you fit an insert / remake the screw?

I have repaired several Rapiers over the years, both Blue and Green head types. A gentle word of warning, the basic dimensions were all different!. Not huge variations, but enough to have a “gotcha” moment, if you are making replacement parts. I meticulously measured up my first resto and assumed that the dimensions would be the same for subsequent engines. Just be aware of the potential problem and don’t get caught out as I was!

To save repeating suggested repairs again, this is Alan’s original post from a few days ago.
