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.
