Another question... The elbow hole of that harm holds a pivot piece that the leadscrew fastens to...It'll turn as the clamp opens and closes. I have a rod of bearing bronze that I was thinking of using for it. Will that peen well? Or will it distort too much and leave me with a bad pivot? It's part #7 in the diagram.

I made my pivot pins longer and when peening kept turning the pivot until it felt right . |

#7 and #4 are not peened on the real thing. p.s. One of the #3's is not peened. |

And that explains why there is a #3 so close to that pivot. Thanks. |
