Joseph,
    I recently replaced some plates . These were in the same mortises =
and although  the depth of the mortises was correct the holes did not =
line up for the new plates.=20
    I drilled out the existing holes and glued in hardwood plugs (not =
dowells) Then with the plates  locked together on the leg,  I applied a =
small amount of C.A. to the plate that attatches to the piano--Careful =
not to glue them together !--- then put  the leg in place correctly =
positioned , wait for the C.A. to bond, carefully remove the leg and =
there you have it , the leg plate positioned and  ready for drilling and =
screws .  Tom Driscoll

  Subject: grand leg plates


  List,
  I don't find any info in the archives on this subject and my PTG =
Journal CD is not up and running yet,,,so, could someone please walk me =
thru the process of locating the male/female parts on their respective =
case parts, and still get the legs to line up in the original locations? =
 I have already routed out enough wood for the new plates to have room =
to fit (they were larger than the originals). I have already installed =
T-nuts for the retaining screws and don't want to jeopardize this work =
by mis-locating the plates!

  Thanks in advance,
