Ed, Regarding the "cross-hatched" pins, I was referring to the standard pins I get from North American supply houses, which have a fine thread and are, in cases, threaded in both directions, in effect, a 'cross-hatched' design, although I admit that I've only seen a couple of boxes of these, and they were a specific brand. The basic question is that I repin using reaming/pounding technique, rather than threading into the pinblock. Is this approach workable on Yamahas, or should I opt for the heavy-threaded pins and turn them into the block? Regards, Rob Kiddell R.P.T., P.T.G. C.A.P.T.
