Time to put in the roll pins but I am having a problem.
Pins are too large as shown in the pic. Anyone know what size
the roll pin should actually be? That way I can order some.
I could contact the seller but they will have a box of these,
and I’d like to finish. Both pins in the pic are pinched closed at the ends
I really tried to get them in. Thank you very much

Mic the one you have for size. Bruce/Bdstone rebuilds them so he might know. Or grab a kit like this and see if there is something that fits.
