Anyone one else done a pintle rebuild?

Dear All,

Has anyone else done an M-series pintle rebuild?

There appears to be a tolerance issue with the pivot of the lock/release
mechanism.

I rebuilt the pintle using 1/2" UNF bolts, machined with grease ducts and
nipples fitted. However, the actuality of the 1/2" measurement of the
locking pivot appears to prevent the lock closing properly. Anyone else
had this?? The pivot needs to have about 10 to 15 thou taken down before
she will close. Hmmm...
Gavin
