 I may be a little late on this reply but you may have some luck heating =
the rail several minutes with an alcohol flame, or similar. The dowel =
will shrink some and the rail will expand some. Be careful of the solder =
joints. Rig a jig to hold them in place. I wish I could lay claim to =
this idea, but I read it somewhere. Did you try the archives?

  The idea of replacing the dowel seems like the way to go. Between you, =

  Patrick, and Newton, it doesn't seem like an impossible task.=20

  I had thought of using the Nu Wood. I have used it before to repair =
cracks,=20
  and glue pieces of wood together. I was reluctant to use it to plug =
screw=20
  holes, however. I am not sure it the epoxy is strong enough to accept =
a=20
  screw. Have you done this successfully?=20
