Hi Phil and all,

And we're still building bridges without anything else but bridge 
pins on top. The only difference between Reno and now is that we are 
using round topped bridge pins and the holes are now drilled slightly 
deeper than the pin. The pins are fitted using West System as the 
driving fluid . We feel that the glue helps to reduce any tendency to 
falseness, while the glue helps to moisture seal the pin hole. And 
yes, the pins can be pulled with vise grips. We checked a few samples 
before committing to the practice just to check that we weren't 
creating a nightmare for some rebuilder 30 years on.
