Fellow builders

My study of Mod 73 tells me that we are to put a 10mm piece of masking tape 
on the underneath face of the TP6's to cover the hole and then two layers of 
bid (1" squares)  perhaps added to some dregs of dry flox used to fill the 
corners of the hole in the skin, and then another two layers of bid from the 
8" squares of bid that keep the TP 6 in place.

When I put a pip-pin throught the dry TP6 there appeared to be about 1.5mm 
of clearance to the protruding balls.

As I am ready to lay glass,  My question is please ---------

Has anyone done the Mod 73 Job and been able to still use their original pip 
pins?

In other words - is it worth striving to keep cover over the TP6 as thin as 
possible?
Or is it just impossible to retain use of the  original  pip pins?

Sincerely
JR (Bob) Gowing UK Kit No 327 in Oz as I try to complete tailplanes before 
filling them.
