I was looking at the bronze bottlescrews from Davey and co, and their clevis pins are stainless steel (which did surprise me.). Should your pins be bronze?

Well to be honest I juts want something that fits and dont really mind what they are. My original ones are bronze - so that is why I went for that thinking that imperial sizes would be easier to find in bronze.

You could make them from bronze bar, from classic marine, drilled for a split pin at each end.

On the other hand, you could get some bronze bar a bit over size, and send it to me, and I will turn you up some spiffy Toggle pins from it /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.....Hmmmmmm, come to think of it, I may have some bronze bar in my stash.

Yeah, but you would charge him for the service no doubt!
If this is a volunteer free service, can I have a couple of dozen, 1/2" please. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nope, wouldn't charge him at all, I have been following his progress with "Roach", and am much impressed........
Tis little enough to offer a bit of help to some folk.

Anyway, when do I expect delivery?

Or even 316 stainless /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif........though silicon bronze is plenty strong enough for a wee boat.

Sorry for my late response, been on a non-boaty long weekend. Thanks for both your offers, but the first thing is that I need to check the dimensions when I take Roach to Woodbridge for the maritime festival this weekend. Then I can see what is the best course of action. Classic marine might have some Merriman spares apparently, if not I might kindly take you up on that offer Smiffy!
