Hi all,
I know the original O/S Drive shaft roll pins are actually 2.

Im going to put a normal roll pin in, has anyone that has done this know what size pin i need please.

I know Mike sell`s them but could do with one ASAP from a local shop.

Thank you. Dan

That might be an option if i cant get a pin soon, the one fitted ive snapped whilst lightly tapping it in :D.

Or ill just jam a twig in it.

Ive been out today to 3 different halfords type shops and no one has roll pins.
i could order off Ebay.de but its a faff,
Do you reakon a large split pin would hold ? as i have some .

Wouldn't worry - you can run them without no problem at all. Just pop one in when you find one, or leave it out.

I haven't had one in for years;) never had any issues....... Has any body ever driven hard on track without a roll pin/bolt fitted?

They used to be but changed to just the 1...... Obviously not helping with your question :ashamed:

Split pin for now and maybe order a genuine roll pin in the mean time?

Use a split pin ;)

Much easier and less faffing.
