Pinblock dilemma for a first timer.

[Hotwheelsp at aol.com]

I have begun rebuilding my first piano. It is an upright player. Upon  
removing the plate from the piano, the pinblock and soundboard fell out. (Almost  
all the glue joints on the piano have come loose, so this is not that  
surprising) Anyway, the old pinblock measures 1 3/4 inch thick. After going  through 
the supply house catalogs (Schaff and Pianotek)  the thickest new pinblock 
obtainable was 1 1/2 inch. What should  I do to obtain the original thickness? Any 
suggestions would be greatly  appreciated as I lack experience in this regard.

P.S. What glue is recommended for regluing the upright frame? I was  thinking 
epoxy.
