Not saying = CA won't work though - never tried it. I do however know that epoxy will = make that pin solid as a rock. Be sure to use something similar to an = unthickened West System epoxy.=20 And if you really don't want the pin to ever come out, sand the portion = of the pin that will go into the cap a bit to make it rough, then wet = the sandpaper with epoxy and sand the epoxy into the pin, then swab the = hole, then drive the pin home. Wait a day and it ain't ever gonner move. And then hope that you will already be dead when the time comes 'round = to rebuild this thing - I hope whoever tries to pull those pins 80 years = from now has a well-developed four-letter-word vocabulary, because s/he = will need it!
