I'll tell ya what I think in spite of your coercion!

Fist of all, IMHO, most uprights, if they are deserving of a new =
pinblock, also deserve a new soundboard - and hence the need to remove =
the sides anyway (yes, I realize there will be cases where it may be =
appropriate to not replace the soundboard).

If the sides are indexed with a width jig and dowels prior to removal, =
cut off rather than busted off, and replaced using those two jigs along =
with the keybed and bottom board (and checked with the knee board and =
upper front board - what the heck is that called?), everything aligns =
quite well.

I can easily imagine that it would be difficult to accurately reposition =
an upright side that was broken off without being indexed.
