---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Good point Joe. I am still wondering about the feasability of repositioning the pin hole, by drilling and bushing. I would have to move the flange pin back by .06". It would be in new wood, and I was thinking on filling the old hole in with epoxy, for strength, since it would be very close to the old hole for the pin. I hate to bother the groove and screw hole, since the are identical to the old one. I am intending to try as above, I was just wodering if anyone had tried it that way, So far, it has not been the repair of choice. I would then amke some up in advance and have them when required in the future. Regards, John M. Ross Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada.
