I've used card stock and survived. first, drill the holes 
through the rail bottom (smaller than the original) Then find 
something of a thickness that makes a reasonably tight light 
drive fit. Cut strips about 8mm wide, stuff one in the hole, 
drive in the pin, trim. After installation, thin CA top and 
bottom to soak and petrify the card stock. It'll be stout 
enough to space pins later without crushing.

That's about the easiest way with what you already have 
underfoot. <G>
