Wim,
If the block is cracked, I would put the 3/8", that is .3750", plug in =
with epoxy. This does go into the crack.
There is still a reasonable amount of wood left. I like the feel of it =
better than the straight epoxy.
It all boils down to how much time the piano is worth.

    You don't have to drill out the plate.=20
    You just use the smaller plug, and then put in a new bushing, and a =
00/2 pin.=20

  Is the small plug big enough to hold a tuning pin? Or is the wood =
around the pin more or less a "shim." My method actually puts epoxy in =
the cracks, which hopefully stops the crack from getting worse. If you =
plug the hole, you have not eliminated, or fixed, the crack.=20
