Erratic Keypins

These things are REALLY sloppy. Yeah, I like that idea - route out a strip, 
infill, and redrill.

Any special recommendations for spacing the holes? Other than the obvious - 
measure old and space accordingly..... Maybe there is some sort of 
ultra-slick method (maybe not)?

Thanks.

If it were only a few pins, I might plug and redrill, but if it's most of 
the front rail, you'd be pulling all the pins, place a straightedge to fit 
and scribe a good line from one end to the other of the front rail on the 
centers of the holes (are the holes in line, just bent, or are the holes not 
evenly drilled?).  Filling with Lake One (or the repair resin of your 
choice) redrilling, and installing new pins.  I honestly think it'd be less 
work to duplicate the rail.
