Hi, Mark -
 
You'll find the dags will fit back in place perfectly, even if they - or  the 
keybed - are splintered.  Take the time to figure out which one came  from 
which spot and 'dry fit' them in position.  Do not clean up the glue  or 
splinters; this will help you to get them back exactly into their previous  
positions.  Reglue one dag at a time.  Put some CA on the dag and  maneuver it into 
position; use a rubber mute or two or three  wedged under the damper tray to hold 
it in position.  Then, not before,  administer a small dose of 'kicker' 
around the exposed edges of the glue  joint.  Leave the dag undisturbed for a few 
minutes while you go  on to the next one.  Done.  Easy!
