Thank you everyone for the help. I think I will be able to get this now. I will report back on the progress.
I am quite happy as the methods that everyone described to me was what I originally had thought of doing. I should have said something to my instructor about it, but that is how we learn. I also wanted to make sure there was not a better way. Of course, my biggest concern was installing the new pins. All the comments I received on the installation was the same, so I will use that method.
BTW, 2-piper, no offense taken.
bushveld, I will try and procure that book! After I buy all the 1911 parts, rifle stocks and other items I need for my course. Luckily, Afrikaans is my first language so the German might not be that great an obstacle.
Again, thank you everyone. I do appreciate the help.
