    Re: clamshell catches

    Patriq,you can drill off the 'burred' over end with a 6mm drill,gently drill till you see the outline of the hole that is in the black handle part.Old used ones tend to be a bit seized your NOS ones may be free to rotate,grip the head with mole grips.

    I bought some 5mm stainless clevis pins.
    Cut them about 2mm longer than the width of the catch part then with a small centre drill (No2)in the lathe drilled a centre hole to almost 5mm diameter.
    When I assemble them up I can peen over with a 8mm ball bearing.
