There is another smaller size that is different too but I can't remember what it is now - I blame it on dementia !

You are a wise man! Worth investigating. I posed the same Q on Facebook and got a flurry of responses from Keyboard Master Mechanics. Most encourage us to 'go to the hardware store and get a piece of threaded rod'. Ummm? No. Too many variables, especially spring force and risk of injury to be imprudent. Use the correct tool correctly.

For something so fundamental, there has to be a straight forward solution. And for your entertainment, our neighbour in the Green Disease hospital ward offered the following.
