cleaning, draining and drying a Mountain Dew spill... I've taken apart countless keyboards this way. Most of the time they can be repaired.

Hate to say this Wolf, but however attractive Elspode's offer appears, I'm afraid I have to reveal that he is blatantly overselling against the requirement. The coathanger solution has all those features for sure but you'll be paying for a load more that you don't need. That esoteric shape is pure indulgence, they've used far more materials than is needed to provide a satisfactory solution, and, believe me, you'll never use that bottom bar that is integral to this structures strength.

Let's cut to the essentials. The solution you need is the AMN (angled masonry nail) - I can deliver the latest version (7.5) and for half the price of the coathanger option. I'm so confident of the suitability and durability of this solution that I'll include the installation pack in the price and a full 24 months replacement guarantee provided it is installed by one of my authorised agents.

With an offer like that, Elspode is going to be waiting some infinite length of time for your call, I'm sure you'll agree.

Ah but your AMN will probably be in metric -- it won't necessarily work with with U.S. masonry, which is still based on the Imperial system.
