Don't bother.
I tried them, and a lot of things when I first started out.
The pins actually, came through the aluminums of the 'widget', they are useless.
Repining is the only answer.

  Has anyone really used one of those widgets?   By the time your done fiddling you could have it pinned.  Do it right!  This is a good chance to learn re-pinning...Mannino broaches

  Hi, Richard.  You need to repin these flanges if you want them to stay in place.  The pin is too loose in the wood of the flange.  The wood may have dried out, so the pin has become loose.  I've seen widgets in supply house catalogs that wrap around flanges to hold the pins in place.  If you just want to get out of there, push them back in place.  The next guy will have to repin them.  Just my take...

    Hello list
    I am working on a 9 foot Baldwin for a local church. Numerous flange pins and jack pins have worked their way out. This is not a rebuild, merely a fix em up. Ideas ??
