Default Just noticed.....

My original spring pins were done differently..... the slot cut for the bolts holding them in place was cut with 3 angled flat sides and required special bolts shaped like the 3 sided groove ..... the new ones were made with a circular slot like yours so I could use regular boltss. The machine shop had to heat up the drill rods to remove the temper..... drill the grease passageway....tap for the greae fittings... cut the bolt slot and grind a relief groove in the center for the grease to spread then retemper the whole thing. Hope they last a long time.
