there is a post about it somewhere on the forum. I will post the links for the ones I fitted wwhen I get home. 6 pounds to do both sides and a spare set left over  |
These are the pins I ordered. I ordered 2 sizes of pins, to be sure. I cannot remember which ones I used though. I ordered the extra length ones, to compensate for any distortion in the back plate, or if I had to add a washer onto the head of the pin.
PIN 1
HOLD DOWN CUP
PIN 2
Feed the pin from the back of the plate, it is fiddly, but still less fiddly than removing the back plate. My back plate was otherwise fine, and solid. That's why I didnt replace it.
