| Contd. -2- EH2/LG8.2.19. If we use the easier fitting gudgeon pin there is nothing with the type of locking on these car pistons to prevent them turning round. We do not anticipate any harm would come by the pin itself turning but we do not think the split mild steel ring is a nice thing to be turning in the aluminium recess. EH. | ||
