Why not use the tapered pins that are already there? Wind the
string/coil, a
slight tap and you're there! That's the beauty of tapered pins. The only
caveat would be if some yahoo, already "tapped" them too much. In that
case,
it is a good idea to ream/drill the holes with appropriate drill to make
the
hole the same dimension throughout it's length. If you don't have my
chart
for this, please reply off line and I'll post one to you.
