Hi Dave.  Thanks for the kind words on the post, and yes (G) I do 
know the difference between " it " , " its'  " and " it's ".  
Even after proof reading a couple times I missed my error.  
The word " it's " as printed should NOT have had an apostrophe ( ' ).
The word should have been spelled " its ", the possive form of " it " 
when used as a modifier before a noun.
And as I said in my last sentence of my post "I'm sure there is 
something more to be learned and I welcome the opportunity".
I just needed to refresh my memory and usage and I thank you for 
bringing this to my attention.
So folks under item 10. the correct usage of the word it should be
 . . . "eyeing" the position of the pin, and ITS proximity to the new 
flange clips . . .

Best regards,
Gordon Holley

maybe you should be writing technical manuals, instruction manuals, etc.  (but learn the difference between 'its' and 'it's').

pay handsomely for the pain and tedium involved!
