thanks Eric,
Luckily I had a set of these found at a tag sale. The way the set worked each end had a different size of the same head. Luckily the flat heads were also at a slightly different angle. it was hard to get a full 180 degrees as if I went all the way over then I could not reach the slot.
Anyway, I finally got it done. A allen head fitting would have worked much better as it has the L shape and multiple places to catch.
I’m just glad I have such great support to get these repairs, large and small done.
Eric
