Removing a roll pin

[MP&C]

Kevin, you can see the old hole at about 90* offset:

You're set up with a much better roll pin design now. I use 3/16" in transmission stuff a lot. With the better design, you shouldn't be concerned about drilling through & using the longer pin. For that matter, two interference points with a stronger pin is better than 1 interference point with a half-*** pin. That's what you did have.

Sorry you broke @ the track over this.

It's hard to believe a simple roll pin can be improved upon.

Breaking at the track is no big deal to me, it does **** but you have to expect it.

Nicely done Eric!

Thank you sir.

Eric....just out of curiosity, did you go back through the same hole and enlarge it, or did you drill a new hole 90 degrees off? I'm assuming you went through the same hole.

You could have used another 1/8" pin. The wallered out portion of the hole is just at the opening of the hole on each side where the pin was bent. The center most portion of the hole would still be round. Plus with a coiled pin, they are slightly oversize anyways by a few thousandths.

I didn't use the same hole, I rotated it 90 degrees. One the first distributor, I drilled the hole 90° but kept it one the same plane as the first hole. It created a little issue when drilling but it's done. That distributor will be a back up in case anything happens in the future.

Yes, it's offset and I did drill it slightly higher on the shaft making it easier and slightly cleaner than the first.
