FS: New window winder/regulator pivot pins

[MTemp]

Having been astounded at the eye-popping prices to replace these pins (circa $30 each at Stoddards and Sierra Madre, £32 ($48) at Roger Bray in the UK!) - and they are inevitably are broken or severely worn in any early regulator, resulting in stiff or poor window movement - I have talked an old mate who is a professional toolmaker at one of the European racing team parts suppliers into making me some. I needed 4, but he has made 8, so the rest are up for sale. They are made from 7075 Aircraft spec Aluminium Alloy, and can either be peened over to hold them in place (as per the originals) or drilled and tapped on the end for a M4 washer and screw. (I do the latter as it's more secure I feel). These ones are slotted for the spring parallel to the support slot. If there is enough interest then I will ask him to make more, and some perpendicular to the regulator slot if required.

18$ each for a single, 15$ each for 2+, plus a fixed 5$ airmail shipping from the UK for any number up to 10, so if there is enough interest a single packet to a local group might work best.

Update: All sold but I am also gauging interest to see if it's worthwhile twisting his arm to make more. If you are interested them please specify the amount and spring slot orientation (parallel or perpendicular to the regulator slot). Like all craftsmen he is not the quickest, so don't expect 'Next day delivery' if we have enough interest for another batch..........

Further update: if you are concerned about the material used please see later posts.
