  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
    Tom,
    A big ALRIGHT to you. And I might add that you can picture me with =
my hand slapping my forehead saying, "why didn't I think of that?" I =
briefly toyed with using double side masking tape, but the prospect of =
having the silly plate fall off into my face just as I reached for it =
didn't appeal.

    A big thank you!
