Anyone dealt with this before??

The pins that transfer the load from the wings to the fuse are installed
in the wing. There are holes on the fuselage side. It's an older
glider and as such doesn't have the replaceable swivel bearings on the
fuse. In this case, the holes are elongated vertically from wear and
the pins have wear on their top surface. The result is play in the wing
to fuse connection.

The pins appear to be glassed in to the wing root and the metal that has
the holes on the fuse side does not appear to be replaceable.

Making the holes a little bit larger on the fuselage side will be a
little bit of a trick only to keep the hole centered on where the
original hole center was. There is plenty of "meat" and opening the
hole up is not going to affect the stregth of the part on the fuse side.
This would fix the fuse side, but then the harder task would be either
replacing the pins in the wing or sleeving the existing pins somehow to
achieve a snug fit. Since there is already a recessed area on the pin,
just putting a thin sleeve over it isn't going to last because it will
likely be crushed to contour with the exsiting recessiion. I think I
might have to do something like add some metal with a welder onto the
recessed area and then carefully machine it down to match the existing
profile before making a sleeve to then upsize to match the new holes on
the fuse. This being said, I haven't even dug into weather the metal
the pins are made out of could be welded. ie heat treated or just too
high a hardness, etc.

Has anyone ever tackled a similar problem such as this? If you have,
please contact me offline.

Thanks,
