Title: Pivot pin - 1/4 window Post by: vy2van on July 21, 2004, 05:29:43 AM Hi
I'm not sure if this has been covered before but I want to find out who makes or can do a punch for the pivot pin on the 1/4 window. I know Spectrum Rubber at Dunheved sells the pins but who can punch them into place. Can I buy a punch to do this? I am restoring an EH but I know this is a problem with FE's-FC's as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Whether or not the qtr window is a bit ricketty, it will pay to have someone support the other side of the handle with the face of a hammer wrapped in cloth (to prevent marks) and you'll only need a small gasket hammer or the like to knock in the pin. Don't forget to give the workings a clean and a real light smear of grease before assembling. cheers, Leigh |
