Opossum Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I could, and was thinking of it as a stop gap as I have a lathe etc but I'm not sure if this kind of part is hardened or treated (or needs to be!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a file to one end of the pin and you'll soon tell if it's hardened. I'm betting not and sure you'll be fine with a piece of silver steel rod. What size is it?

I'm betting not and sure you'll be fine with a piece of silver steel rod. What size is it? It seems reasonably easy to file - good call on that. It's 3.65mm or so in diameter. I'll check out what materials I have handy as I could do with having it functioning by saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
