Re: New rear spring cotter pin installation

And the casing is machined flat for the cotter nut and spring washer seating on the front- the rear is not machined.

Cheers, Tony.

Re: New rear spring cotter pin installation

Evening all,

Just wanted to post a little update should anyone else stumble across this thread. After some persistence I have managed to fettle down the new cotter pin to suit. My attitude was to take it step by step and it paid off when the cotter pin fitted round the web on the rear side and slotted home with a reassuring gentle tap to tighten up and expose the thread on the spring side. Now just to repeat for the opposite hand!

If my understanding of how to post a photo is correct, hopefully a picture will appear below showing the original, the fitted and the as-new pins:

Many thanks again for everyone's help and advice!
