Default Welcome back Cotter

First hole worn out a bit?

Do the cotter pins all look like the same size?

Well, that's an interesting story. So, I decided to give

it a try on
one of the stays. I pulled the pin on the top of the

buckle, and no
problem putting a 6-32 in there. I tried the bottom, but

it wouldn't
go. I thought this is odd. Why would a turnbuckle have two

different
size holes... so I figured it was an anomoly and moved to

the second
of three (three stays per side). Same deal. Fits on the

top, doesn't
fit on the bottom. I tried all six. Same deal.

What's up? Any idea?
