Front Rail Pins

[Roger Jolly]

Hi John,
            If you have used the correct size cauls and the bushing is
sized 0.005"  over size. You can wiggle the key slightly, and as you turn
the pin, you will feel a very slight side to side movement when you centre
the pin in the bushing. 
5min job after you get the feel.
Hope this helps.
Roger
