The Cylinder Pin.
I had been wanting to do this mod since I got this little jewel but finally gotten my self around to getting a few new pins for it & bringing my self to do it.
The job was simple really.
Taken my new pin, marked in 2 locations where I wanted it to hinge at & used my dremel with a medium cutting disk "to make the smallest cut" & cut the pin at a 45* angle.
Then I marked the cut ends for a center cut to accept my home made link & used the heavy duty cut disk for this "since my link was just a bit thicker than the disk.
Using a 1/4" X 2" body washer as my material for my link I cut & drilled it to match what I wanted, then drilled the pin to accept a 5/64" roll pin.
Assembled the pin, some minor filing to get the roll pins the same profile as the rest of the pin & then used a single coat of Oxpho-Blue to protect my work.
Here is my result after about 1 hour of work.
