roll pin issue

so, i broke my first roll pin today, and for all of you losing all your gears, see if you can change this yourself first, wait on the stealership. i broke mine into 3 pieces so that was a bitch, but oh well.

to clarify/ notify some people of some things. for everyone that keeps on breaking the roll pin and changing it themselves, if you are replacing it will a ROLL pin, this is incorrect, and may be the reason for its weakness. the pin is actually called a SPIROL pin(or coiled spring pin), made by SPIROL mfg. This is the same idea as a roll pin, but much stronger.

some of you may know this but i am just throwing the heads up out there.
if enough people are interested, i will buy some in bulk and mail them to whoever needs them at cost.

like i said, just trying to help
thanks
kevin

I have ordered 100 heavy duty coiled spring pins in our size. Anyone that need some pm me. These will be much stronger than any roll pin. They are also what was meant to be in the linkage. I am NOT trying to sell these just letting people know of the issue
