Hi Peter. Welcome to Modder.
I'm pretty sure, I copied the original, and screwed the pivot pin into the cylinder base. The tapped hole in the base, was deeper than the pin's thread length. So, it couldn't do any damage.
Has someone replaced the pivot pin, with studding... ? :scratch:

Nice one John! But....
You think you've got trouble!
I've just had cataract op, on my left eye. Marvellous job! Everything is clear and bright. Through the new lens. :thumbup:
The right eye, is still short sighted, and a pale khaki colour. :palm:
I'm having fun, with single lensed reading glasses..... :scratch:
