   Michael... It's too late for you unless you have to repeat the job or
   have other line-up  related projects, but I was able to reuse the
   original holes by using dowel centers to locate the bolt holes in a
   couple of sections of toe rail I replaced. For example:

   I had to buy a couple of extras do do a usable length in one shot.
   The toughest part of the job was cutting the matching Zee shaped scarf
   joints. I couldn't think of a better way than cutting the Z shape bye
   eye in  the good part of the toe rail, then sacrificing some plywood
   templates trying to match the cutout shape. Any woodworkers with a
   better idea?
