Good point made K2-K6, I had cleaned off the visible rust on my old shaft with a small brass rotary brush in my drill before I drilled out the pin. The bracket was inside a large shallow plastic tub that I use for dismantling things like carbs or gearboxes - aside from some waste from drilling out the pin there was no other debris so I am certain it was already broken.

I took my 400/4 spindle to Philpotts with my fork stanctions and asked how much to hard chrome it........£130😲, I didn't bother!
I've bought a S/S one from Max. He's going to be making them for the 400/4 in the near future.

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

That's odd, was this after I'd asked him to make them Dave as he asked for an old spindle to copy and AFAIK he's only made the one, which I have. Unless of course he made one especially for you.
DomP:
Thanks everyone for your replies, so once carefully drilled out the pin and the deburred shaft is slid out, drill out and tap to 4 or 5mm leaving the bushes in place?
