Am I right in thinking the thread of the bolt will be in contact with the inner bush and maybe rubbing it away?

 

[Seat Gooner]

hope not i kind of thought of that when fitting mine

It may be worth going for a size smaller bolt and placing a plastic sleeve over the the thread to act as protection and a roller?

The original pin is smooth, tbh the wear will me minimal imho

My father-in-law has made me a pin just like the one xd-date-ii made (http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showpost.php?p=1867493&postcount=44).

Gonna get it fitted this weekend.

good good

Having just spoken to him, he said it was a bit of a pain to make; mainly cos his lathe isn't ideal for such small fiddly things (plus his eyesight is not what it used to be lol). If it works fine and was easy to make I was gonna see if others wanted one too (for a small fee). But I'll wait til I speak to him in person and until it's been fitted.

 

[Mark300zx]

If there is any chance he can kindly make some up I would be interested

That's what mine is one of those made pins, i had a guy on another site make it on a lathe.
Then the bolt idea came about, so wish i did that.
