Does anyone know for certain if the roll pins in the bronze bushing kits are any good or not? I read some time ago that they were having quality problems.
Maybe more helpful would be if someone has a pic of the Porsche roll pin vs. the Weltmeister pin. Any obvious differences? |

About 15 years ago, when I rebuilt my pedal cluster with a Weltmeister kit and the roll pin supplied was just that a roll pin.
The pin did not last long. Luckily it broke in the parking lot at school. I was able to dig through some of the engineering labs and found a bolt that was close to the same size. The bolt, while close in size, was not an exact fit. The bolt lasted for the trip home but that was about it. I replaced the failing bolt with a "coiled spring pin" as can be found in a good hardware store. These pins are like the name suggests, multiple wraps of the spring steel. I don't know what comes with the newer Weltmeister kits, but I would check it to make sure that you are not stranded somewhere over a few cent part. P.S. did anyone else realize some of the pedal bushings are the same size as the headlight bushings and the bellcrank bushings for a 914-6 throttle? |
