Ahem, I think my assumption was perfectly reasonable. From my 
experience with most plastic (not Kawai's) it is hard and subject to 
break if you shove a 10d penny nail into a 4d hole.

This was my case, didnt want to make the wrong choice first. And, yes 
I did go to Dons action center class but years ago, and no plastic 
was discussed. The big question here is what causes centers to become 
so incredibly loose. It must be some thing in the materials because 
you dont have a bushing shrink by 1/32, in the same spot throughout 
the piano, under normal use, oftern even in 100 year old instruments 
in our climate the bushings are too tight rather than too loose. I 
really dont think repinning is an option but I will report when I go 
back next week.
