Friend brought one to fix. I found a FH screw in it and of course the threads were shot.
I got it out but looked up the size and what the heck is .108X56 threads???
Had to fix threads anyway and found a 4-40 was a good fit. No long oval heads though so I made a tool to reform a FH to an oval head. Came out to exact measurements of the original head. New slot cut and shaped. Some bluing and good to go.
