Nope don't work. :-) 2/0 pin circumference is .88548 and 4/0 is .91374.. a difference of .03816....not much difference but there it is................in order to make the same pitch change using a 2/0 pin as made with a 4/0 pin the 2/0 pin will have to move 1.0319 farther than the 4/0. (check my math, and reasoning, though!:-) I agree that wear from tuning plays very little part in pinblock failure. Jim Bryant (FL)
