minimize damper problems. Also, I should think a nail of similar diameter cut to
length would work fine also.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2> Hi David:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2> I had one of these awhile
back and located and drilled a new hole for a new pin near the original
one. You have a little latitude sideways or above or below, but
try to keep the string in about the same place. Drill a hole, then
use a drill bit the next size larger cut or ground to the proper length
and drive it into the hole just drilled. A little gold paint and
"voila." Good luck!</FONT></DIV>
