Hi Folks I've seen them like this for at least a couple 2 - 3 years here. Looks very intentional to me. Never could figure out what the point was, specially since they give lectures about using longs to run through several flanges at a time when pinning. One could think indexing... but what would be the point ? Strange. The can indeed take a bit out of the bushing you push them through if you are repinning. Not so good. RicB
