Spring pin on kickstart - 1974 Mk3

[Dodge]

I have just sent the kickstart from my 1974 239Mk3 off for re-chroming. To dismantle it prior to dispatch, I had to destroy the spring pin that holds the folding bit onto the kickstart lever. (I don't see a part number on the diagram that I have). It's a tiny part and I only need one! I found a supplier on-line but I don't know the exact size and I would have to buy 50 of them. Any help much appreciated.

Have a look on eBay, they are called roll pins. Do you have a decent car spares shop near you? They usually stock them and you can take your old one in and match it up.

Unfortunately the pin was completely destroyed. I had to drill it out. I know that the pin diameter is critical if it is to be a good fit.

Aye Dodge,

At the moment these stainless steel roll-pins are being advertised on eBay under Lot No.:232242825582

Buying a pack of 5 doesn't look expensive to me!

Good health, Bill

Thanks Bill,
I didn't know what they were called and was searching for the wrong thing I will order some allen bolts at the same time. That fastener company seems to have a wide range of stock and is OK about dispatching small quantities.

Aye Roger,

Whilst he may not be the cheapest, he is happy to supply small quantities and 'one of's', try INOX Fasteners: INOX_FASTENERS

Good health, Bill
