There are several holes where they fit,but i don,t know if any of them will be ok or if they need to go on a particular hole. Thanks a lot for any input.

Photobucket sucks

Here is a big warning ... they are NOT .250 holes , I can't convert that to metric , sorry , the dowels I want to say are .246ish

They are blind holes so there is not doubt.This year i promise to check the things before posting About the sizes,i haven,t meassured them but i had to tape them a little in the left side and glue them in the right . The heads seated ok anyway.
