Default Broken wing dowels, help

I crashed my Excelleron 90 into trees this weekend and suprizingly enough it suvived very well exept the 2 dowels in the front middle of the wing that locate the wing to the fuse. They both broke off at 3/8 to a 1/2 inch into the wing. It looks as if I could epoxy them into exact location but will this be enough to hold the wing?
I have also thought of doing this epoxy thing then drill down the middle of the dowel about 1 1/2 inches and insert 3/32 piano wire for strength.

Any ideas?
