3mm hinge pins

[Northy]

What cars use steel 3mm wishbone hinge pins? And are east to get hold of?

Cheers,

Have you got any broken hex wrenches? I cut some down after breaking the tip. Worked a treat and they are hardened steel so dont bend easily
Possibly drill blanks would be ideal too??

[Northy]

Jimmy had suggested that, but I thought they might be so hard that they would be brittle?

Not sure fella, will try and find out for you

Tamiya do a range of them from about 20mm to I think 48mm long in 2mm increments.
Look in the EvoIV/V, TRF414/415/416 or TA04/5 spares lists M8.
PM me if you want a specific size and I'll get the part numbers for you.

Well, some 501X front inner ones would be the ideal length, but where to get them from quickly?

The DB01 pins should be the same size as that, may be more readily available than the 501 parts?
