FUSE BOX - B.145.HM.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}

We are sending for your attention a fuse box taken from Bentley B.145.HM.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} for faulty starter motor action. You will observe that although the screw at the back of No.7 terminal is tight, the connecting wire can be riddled about, the reason being the screw is bottoming, and cannot be screwed further down. Is this a fault of the screw or depthbor drilling please ?
