Parts Question.

[George16]

Jerry, I had been making hinge pins from through-hardened ejector pins. They will break before they bend which is better for my application.

I get mine from plastixs.com because they are cheaper compared to mcmaster-carr.

By the way, you need the 1/8" diameter which is equivalent to 3.175mm.

Here's my gmaxx build thread which includes some pictures on how I made my pins captured.
