You would need to file or grind the threads off the screw so it's a snug fit in the hole in the breaker plate, file the eccentric on the screw head by hand, and peen the screw shank to the back of the breaker plate once the eccentric is shaped correctly. That's sort of "Gunsmithing 101"- - - -hand-filing bits and pieces for antique gun repairs involving scarce or nonexistent parts. Jerry
