Screen Pin, Top

A quick learner from Grand Rapids, Mich says:

I need to replace several top pins in the top rail of my screens. The part is plastic .160" dia. approximately 1" long. The top part is smooth (.160 dia) with the lower part having a smaller diameter, .135", with ridges to hold into the rails lower wall. Picture attached shows one that is broke. Top (piece on the left) is distorted as I tryed to pull the remains out of the rail with a pair of pliers. The top portion looks like the piece in the photo to the right. Color is grey.

A 3/16 dia roll pins work for replacment. However, you need to drill out the rail for the roll pin to work. The rail easily bends when drilling for the roll pin. I would rather have the part in question.

Any help would be appreciative.

Thank You,

John

Hey, John. I'm afraid that we don't have a pin exactly like this. Could you maybe use something like our 70-195?
