More questions. I have enough NOS hat I don't per se need to refurbish them. But, I thought it might be an advantage to dismantle them when reshaping the base.
So, in the image below - how did you remove the shorter pin? It seems to have been pressed out with a machine tool?
Just cut the end with a Dremel, and then there is no way back but to use a new pin?
catches
In the image below there are my new pins, and they are flat at the end. I just use a puncher at the end to widen them after they are fitted?
Finally, at the receiver part of the catches - the part indicated in the first images extends into the receiver. To my eye it seems the third hole juuuust barely might fit so that the bolt through this hole not faults the part from the other half with the handle, that pushes in here?
Don't want it too close to other end either, or I guess I'll run out of material.
