Now to wait for the rebuilt cylinders and then the fun job of putting it all back together!
We received your package on Friday afternoon, and should be ready to mail them back to you tomorrow (Monday). The original pin from one of the bow cylinders is an 8x35. Good news: I found a used one with the same shaft dimensions, but a somewhat smaller head. See attached pic. Should work just fine, and it will be included in the return shipment. If there should be any problem with the head being too small, then we can still machine an exact replacement for you.
