I'm looking to either purchase or make plugs to repair a pin hole that was drilled at such an angle that, with pin installed, it almost touches the neighboring pin and not allowing a hammer tip onto it. I have checked the usual suppliers but no one has anything to plug the pinblock with. Any information would be helpful. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David C. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Las Vegas</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
