Hybrids do need a diff length pin - - 11.05.2007, 04:30 PM

I got my hybrids 15 min ago and there were two pins included in each that are not stock length, so I was wrong earlier. I guess FLM doesn't say anything since they are included. My bad for guessing.

Stock length hinge pins are 2.815" (71.5mm) and 2.274" (57.8mm). The new pins in the FLM kit is 2.568" (65.2mm). Laying the bulks next to my emaxx I'm not sure I understand why longer is needed, but I will find out later tonight when I have the time to start the swap. I gotta get back to work right now.

Here's another place to supply stock to make your own - these are ejector pins and are the hardest of any of the pins I've seen (thanks Chad Knorr over on UE) - hard enough they won't bend but will break instead when finally stressed enough. No more bent pins and the messes they cause getting them out. These are harder than anythging I could find at McMaster-Carr.
