Belt and braces! If you replace them with the furry type, you'll
probably find that they're a tight enough fit without needing any pins.


No - they are the same thickness as the ones they're replacing. Which
weren't that old anyway. I drilled pilot holes through the new with a
pillar drill to make using long panel pins easier.


Fairy Nuff. Mine were pretty tight - and I had to clear the residue from
the old ones out of the grooves before I could get the new ones in.
