I've always known them as roll pins. Any 1/2 decent auto parts store sells them in packs of mixed sizes. Good to keep in a spares kit , along with R pins , split pins and safety pins!
I agree with the contents of that spares kit. Easy to store and when you need it you really need it. And yes spring pins are also commonly referred to as roll pins.
If I loose it next time!
It is a staked pin, you can barely see the line on the image, the pins working loose mustn’t have received adequate deformation to provide a secure interference fit.
Be great to hear feedback from anyone who tries this solution.
Hi guys. It happened to me today But unfortunately impossible to put it back! Can someone help?
Done! Had to remove everything, see the spring, go back in short, put the pin in place, and then OK.
It's safe to say that it is still far into the minority of owners that have this pin fall out. From some conversations I've had, it appears that if they are going to fall out, they do so fairly quickly; those that have not fallen out early into ownership are held in with the power of Excalibur
Or in my case, a Velcro wire strap.
as most people don't carry nails or fnecing wire
Could also use as a fuse in a series Landy
A 3mm hardened pin is a bit small in diameter but still good for high current. 1/4", 6mm bolt or a .22 shell works well for the old glass fuses without damaging the fuse holder.Could also use as a fuse in a series Landy
Ah I see you've got that kit too!
