What to use for retaining pins?

[Curtis Nelson]

Hi all,

What do you reccommend I use for the little retaining pins that help secure the filmback to the rear box (the little pins that the rear box locks onto)?

Thanks,

Curtis

Not really sure what your configuration is, but a general answer would be brass rod. Round the end on a grinder or hand file, then cut to length. The pins can then be pressed into the appropriately sized hole.

Thanks. It seems like I usually overlook the simplest solution.

I use 1018 drill rod. The stuff is cheap and it won't bend. It is easy to cut and shape. Anybody who sells fasteners can fix you up.
