Hey, thanks to all who replied. Lots of great ideas. I am going to take a look at the car tomorrow or thursday. It sounds to me like there is a good chance of making a decent repair. If things don't look too bad, I am going to attempt this. I'm thinking that the best approach may be more obvious when I get a better look at how everything goes together.

If and when I do this, I will report back how it all goes. Thanks again!

BTW - I also posted this question to alt.autos.subaru at the same time I posted it here. Score:

I have heard the term "dutchman" used for those little football shaped plugs that you see in the outer layers of plywood, that the mill uses to fill in knot holes.

I don't know where the term comes from either.

round pins make awful keys.

We spent days repairing part of a cnc lathe turret that had been repaired that way, um, 3 times

if it didn't work the first time, or the second...

I think you will find the Dutchman is a wood workers Bow Tie shaped reverse wedges that hold two adjacent pieces together. It might be a larger group of in-planted clamp.

Then they have "dog-bones" that hold large flywheel rim pieces together. Todd Engine, and all.

Dutchman? That was always understood to be a clever, non-tradional way of keying something to a shaft. I always thought the deriviation had something to do with clever german (deutch) toolmakers.
