Hi Dick, The plate holes often are larger than the bolts. If you are replacing the pin block where are you going to put it and the plate? If you drill two tiny (1/16") holes through the plate and through the pinblock you can reposition the new block and the old plate exactly when you measure from the old holes and use the same measurements to position the new block and the old plate to the new block. Simple and accurate. Newton
