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? |

Per question : Use regular roll pins rather than a bronze pin. The Pcar engineers gave you consideration when they put the roll pin in that pedal. The pin is a shear pin. Shears when there is excessive force that could damage other parts in the train of mechanisms. You can put whatever you want in there but you are creating a worse problem in the long run because if it doesn't shear as intended, an expensive part, the whole clutch pedal assembly is going to have a wobbled out hole. Then none of the roll pins mentioned work because they won't stay in the hole as intended. As far as using the new, more expensive pins mentioned, IMHO, you are just paying more money for something. |
