Seriously tho.. he takes pinblock rests, makes 14 mm plugs, bores the plate holes out to match, then after the plate / pinblock is installed he smears in a little epoxy into the plate holes and taps his plugs in. Then he sands / files them flush with the plate and bores them as if they were a part of the pinblock. I havent tuned one of these beasts yet, but he swears by it. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
