Re: Re: K2000 body question

 Thanks, Gordon.
For anyone interested:
I used JB Weld to (hopefully) make a good bind around the threaded insert. We'll see if that works. Apparently, I (sort of) fixed another corner in the past, but since that screw is lost, I've stopped paying attention to it -- and that one's brass insert isn't flush anyway (more on that in a sec). Having at least one solid screw on that side of the keyboard will help.

What's puzzling is how these inserts came out in the first place. I was unable to push the insert back into its hole, and ended up boring a larger hole with a drill bit by hand -- just large enough to force the insert back in -- and coating the inside edges of the hole with the weld material.
It's entirely possible I pulled the insert out a bit when I screwed the screw in a bit, but... I'll check it out later. It was flush when I forced it in; hopefully there was enough resistance to stay flush through my initial rotations.

It's a brass insert moulded into the plastic case.
