The only problem with using a bolt would be losing the locking expansion ring on the factory pin. The hairpin is secondary security to keep the long pin in place.seahabit said:Take a pin to the hardware store. Find the long metric bolts ( notice the threads don't go all the way up the shank). Choose the correct diameter replacement, saw off the threaded portion and drill the hair pin hole.
Good point. Use a cotter pin instead of the hair pin. That will hold it.Cochinosucio said:The only problem with using a bolt would be losing the locking expansion ring on the factory pin. The hairpin is secondary security to keep the long pin in place.
