you can get pins for that purpose, they are like square header pins but
smaller and
the size of IC pins. (with the narrow stub on both sides)
they ought to be cheaper than the socket pins.
'course you'd need to drill holes then.

But i had one other idea for Dave, there are actually socket pins wich are
fully
inserted into the board, (they have no narrow stub). you need bigger holes
of course.
this would do away with the aligning/holding guide needed as the board
holds them firmly.
sorry i have no url there but google will know.
you might use standard socket pins and snip off the stub.
