So, the solution has arrived from http://winfieldvintage.com in the form of a modified Schaller strap button.
The hole is enlarged to accomodate the larger diameter Rickenbacker machine screw, which they have made to twice the standard length. The head of the machine screw is then machined down in diameter to fit inside the strap button………..voila……..Looks like it was meant to be.
Awesome solution.!
