Broken Pin

[Phill2]

Hi Guys


I'm running the 4 pin gears and have broken one of the pins that go through the shaft to hold the bit with the 4 pins on.


Do you know how or where to get one?


I just know you're gonna say I need to buy a full new plate!

I don't know what size it is, but you can use a piece of an old drill bit. Just test fit until you get the right size. It'll be far more durable than a stock replacement.

Thanks Deluge

That's one I hadn't thought of

No problem, man. I replaced my diff pins with drill bit blanks and they lasted forever. Good stuff.

The bits work good. I have a couple dogbones with drill bit shafts for pins.

I'm assuming you cut them with a grinder?

 

[Guest]

Yes you can.

Thanks

Just gotta get the micrometer out and sort through the old drill bits

You can find them on ebay under the part number but twice the price

The eBay price maybe twice as much but usually free shipping. So in the end it comes out a little cheaper.

That might work if you live in the states but being in Aus makes it a little harder.

I try to buy locally if I can
