new & improved osteopath Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 The pin on the 196 is different from that on the others I have worked on, in that instead of being more or less 'pressure fit' the two I have seen have used adhesive to hold them in. The way I fixed them both was with a metal repair epoxy. Take a pin or toothpick and coat the inside of the SMALL hole on the cg wih the epoxy. This prevents it from being pushed through onto the pivoting part and freezing it up. Then push the pin through, being sure to carefully remove the excess epoxy from the outer surface with a knife blade. Wiggle the lever around a few times to make sure it moves freely. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new & improved osteopath Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I am not clear what other solution you are looking for. If the pin were a pressure fit, you could just tap it back into the hole, however since it is not, you are looking at some sort of adhesive. Metal repair epoxy is the strongest of this type, and is readily available. Since there are no replacement CGs for the daylights as far as I know, this is the solution. There are two other, far more complicated solutions: 1) Manufacture a central pin approx .001 mm wider in diameter with a tapered end so that it can be pressure fitted into the hole. 2) Purchase an arc welding tool, and braze it onto the CG, and then repolish it with progressively finer wheels. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
