Call Guild. Maybe they have larger diameter pin they can send you.
Why would they have that?"
It's like when you get your engine bored out. .010 over, .020 over, .030 over for extreme cases ;]]
"I have usually just used a small piece of scotch tape on the side of the pin... doesn't take a whole wrap, usually just a quarter of the pin circumference, or so, to get a good tight fit. I've also just used a thin shim of typing paper held in the hole as I insert the peg.
More "permanent" methods include coating the shaft of the pin with a thin layer of super glue and LETTING IT DRY BEFORE INSERTING THE PIN to increase the diameter a bit... or applying a thin coat of superglue to the inside of the pin hole and LETTING IT DRY BEFORE INSERTING THE PIN. The object is NOT TO GLUE THE PIN IN, just to increase the pin diameter or decrease the hole diameter sufficiently to give a tight friction fit."
Saved this info. There's nothing like suddenly realizing you're missing a bottom pin like it fell out and you didn't know, nor do you know how long it's been missing or have a clue as to where the pin is...
I do also remember they're a liability in shipping, so being removable without resorting to pipe wrenches is a plus ;]]
