Pin loose, fasteners here and there (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
in places
'here and there' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'pin loose fasteners' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'pin' is 'inp' which is within the answer.
'fasteners' could be 'laces' and 'laces' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
