[Rhodes22-list] Mast Boom Car temp pin

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

John,
The threading could possibly help, a little snug in the pin hole.  You could lost a smooth surfaced pin, possibly by just by slipping out.  The length could be estimated by mk1 eyeball.  Do you have a picture of your PT slider for your conventional mast?  I may need to remake one myself.  Thx,
Art
