Hiya, running my floyd equipped guitar and went to string it up with new strings as the factory ones were too light. Gone from 9's in E standard to 10.5-64 in Drop C and the bolt on the locking nut for the low strings won't grip at all. I think the string is so thick it's pushing the screw too far out to catch. Should I buy a longer screw? or is there something else. Also any info on the screw size if so would be appreciated. Thanks

So I'm currently buying up parts for a couple preamps I'm going to build. PCBs are ordered and I'm going through the BOM and one of the transistors isn't available anymore from where I can find it. I wondered if the MMBFJ177LT1G is a decent replacement for the MMBFJ177? Also the build guide recommends selecting the jfets according to cutoff voltage but I wasn't too sure how to do that or how important it is? Thanks

So I've been out for over 2.5 years, coming up on 2 years since I changed my name via deed poll. I don't have a dysphoria diagnosis or anything but I'm wanting to change the marker on my passport and my GPs are refusing to write a letter (saying I could "change my mind whenever"). I do eventually want a GRC for marriage reasons. I've been looking at getting a dysphoria diagnosis but I didn't realise that there's some places that can give you a diagnosis but can't help with the GRC letters. I'm trying to get this done as cheap as possible because I really don't have the money for it. I've asked pride in health but they can't do a GRC letter. Almost all the other options are like £500 minimum with no offers of a payment plan which I really can't do. Any recommendations? I don't need hrt or surgery recommendations if that can save me anything
