I am wondering if these various fixes yield a linear response?

I don't know fer sure about the diameter, but an old aviator I know has a

| Subject: | Steam gauge brass insert fix |
For those of you still using steam gauges, especially the ones like in the picture
below, you might save yourself a lot of grief if - before you install them
- you mix up a little JB Quick and carefully dab it around the outside of the
4 brass inserts that hold the gauge together, that are threaded for the retaining
screws. You want to bond the insert tightly to the gauge w/o getting any
epoxy on the threads. Obviously you do this on the back side.
Because after 18 years, that brass insert might corrode and cleave itself tightly
to the screw, and then when you try and remove the screw, instead of the screw
coming out, the insert spins in the gauge. Which results in fighting with
it for over an hour while in a position way too awkward for an old man. Guess
how I know this?

Good advice Richard.
Also, a drop of oil on the threads, or better yet a tiny amount of
anti-seize compound will help stop galvanic action between the dissimilar
metals of the screw and nut.
