Hole diameter of track pin collar?

Post by Mark Allen »

I'm ready to assemble the tracks. Checking out how things went together I notice that the 1mm cotter pins are fairly loose in the pins and collars.

I don't have a pin gauge set to measure the holes so I thought I would ask, will they accept 1.5mm or 2.0mm diameter cotter pins?

Thanks.

If nobody comes back with the size of the hole, you can always use the shank of a 1.5 and 2.0mm drill to check for size.

Split pins are meant to be a little loose in their respective holes.

Thank you. I do not have drills in that size (yet), but I know there are 2mm rivets in the kit, I can start there.
