I found these.
I have fixed this problem, stemming from emulating Hendrix,
before with epoxy,
but this looks like a great fix.
Better than matchsticks!
(hehe that's what the guy who had it before me had used)
I wonder what I want in here
-my site is gone and music a mess

I wonder why brass, it's similar to helicoils but they show fine stainless machine screws and brass inserts. Stainless is pretty damn hard, brass? Not so much. I can't imagine a failsafe reason for brass, I mean is too much torque an issue here?

I'm sure they work fine and thanks for the heads up, but if one is use them do be aware being too hard on the tightening...they might strip before you know it. :)

I've always drilled and doweled.

Why spend the 15 bux?
I have a really fast computer, some good mics, vintage musical instruments, and lots of fancy software. Just need some talent

I have never had to but that is exactly what I would do :tu:
