Screw Eye Adjusters
By Paul Camps

Hi,  For all threaded screw eye requirements I would buy them made
to pattern from Kimber Allen organ builder suppliers, or for piano
action work they are readily available from Fletcher & Newman and/or
Hecksher's (assuming they are still in business), chrome plated.

I certainly would not bother wasting time trying to match an original
when stock sizes are readily available and easily modified.

If they are a slack fit in the adjuster rail, then make a new rail.
Who's going to know?

Cheers from the grey skies of the UK.
