Pin stock

Post by knfpkr15 »

I need to replace 2 pins on 11cm Hubertus tab release switch ( bottom steel? and center brass pins) and don't know what diameter pin stock would be best. I would appreciate any advice.

I'm going to move this to the knife repair forum where this topic would be best addressed.

Sizes to have around are .072, .081, and 2mm in brass.
Steel rear bolster pin sizes vary a little. Cut up a few wire coat hangers to see which one pits the rear hole.
