105 driveshaft Spirol pin, dowel pin ?
Sheared the coil pin at the drive shaft front coupler. Bought the pin at Ace hardware from the Hillman or Mcmaster Carr bin. The pin has been in duty for about a year since I bought a new drive shaft from Brian Miller. I have read multiple posts here, and in the CC parts list that the 105 requires a steel dowel pin, not a tension or a coil pin. So 2 questions; Was the coil pin not hard enough.? What grade of dowel pin should I be qetting ? Dowel pins seem to be available in different;grades,hardness, and configurations. Thanks
