[Rhodes22-list] Pintell Clip??

[Rob Lowe]

Jeff,
An easy fix is to take a small standard hose clap and put in on the pintle
below the gudgeon (the hole the pintle goes through).  That keeps it from
popping out.  As with any subject on this list, there are various opinions
on how best to do this.  But a hose clamp is cheap and it's an easy fix. -

it's given spot, which we're successful in doing.
