The pins that transfer the load from the wings to the fuse are installed
in the wing. There are holes on the fuselage side. It's an older
glider and as such doesn't have the replaceable swivel bearings on the
fuse. In this case, the holes are elongated vertically from wear and
the pins have wear on their top surface. The result is play in the wing
to fuse connection...

From an engineering viewpoint, if the pins are not significnatly worn
(measure - don't rely on sighting) the easiest way out would be to reamer
the holes out and insert a reducing bush to reduced the enlarged hole down
to the original size.

If the pins are worn. they could be reduced to circular (provided there are
no imperfections or cracks) and the reducing bushes for the holes made
undersized.

Building up and re-turning the pins is likely to be a more expensive option.
It is likely that there is an approved method of maintenance for your
machine - have a word with an agent for that particular type.
