Hello, I tried part # 21-022 to replace a bottom door guide but the pin is too large. Wondering if 21-033 would be the next pin to try? I have not had a chance to try to replace the pivot pins yet but those look like they might work. Thanks

I'm afraid I can't tell if you have the 21-033 or not. Before I recommend anything, I'd like you to tell me the exact diameter of your original pin as well as the diameter of the nylon cap that goes into the track. I'd rather not guess. If the 21-022 wasn't the right size, then we need to know what size is actually necessary.

The old pin was 1/4" in diameter and the nylon cap was 1/2"

There are very few Float-A-Way parts still around at this time, but we'll do our best to get you working parts.

In photo #110155, the pivot bracket looks like the 21-210, so the bottom adjusting pin should be 21-035. In photo #110340, that looks like the top pivot pin and we believe you can also use 21-035. In the last two photos, we are thinking 21-007 spring loaded pin with nylon sleeve would work as a replacement.
