So Luis, what size pin is it then, 5/16" or 1/4"? :kidding:

okay brothers. haven't wanted to order the rings from Mcmaster carr since the shipping is more than bolts or just as much. i found a pair of 1/4" but they are not thick enough. they slide out, so it's the 5/16" that will fit.
i'll have to wait to be ordering something else, or just drill out the 3/8 which i have the rings for. the length has to be at least 1" or .08 useful length. the 1/4 " one that i tried was 1 1/8" long and would have worked, and still had some room to go in deeper, so you'd be more concerned with minimum length than maximum. of course, this is on my 13 c, not sure on other models. so this is over:icon_blah!!!
thanks alot for suggestions and help. :mosh:
anyone asks about this we know now or now know, it's the 5/16" x 1" or slightly greater.
