Sorry Keith, my contribution was just a feeble attempt at humor.
Seriously, I have used Garfield's, epoxy, oversize pins, shims and
installed a great many new blocks - and I'm sure the CA glue idea is
workable (if somewhat scary).  Each has it's place, once all
the circumstances have been taken into consideration.  Though I think I
would draw the line a welding the pins to the plate.
