DomP:
Im revisiting my carb restoration now i have a zinc nickel plating kit, am I correct that this pin needs drilling out to enable the carb linkage rod to be removed and what can I use to re-pin afterwards? 

Sesman:
Photo required for confirmation, but probably yes. No, you can’t reuse the pin!!!

Yeah, I said what can I use to re-pin.  Here's the photo I meant to upload.

Oddjob:
Use a dog point screw from Ebay, get them in brass if possible. Fit them into an electric drill, point end outward, spin and use a file to grind the end down until it fits inside the slot in the bar. 4 or 5mm is best.

I'll have some of those bars in stainless in a few weeks Dom. They tend to rust a lot.

DomP:
Mines a bit flakey to be honest Ken, how much are the rods as I'm trying to stop thie budget running away😄
