One thing to be wary of is re-using cotter pins. They tend
to break
from being bent/straightened and fall out.


Right. Also, nylon locknuts should not be reused too often.

Well, that's for sure. I wouldn't reuse them at all.

The intermolecular polybond is stressed during usage.
They are meant to be a single use product.

Ganz is right.
You endanger yourself if it is a critical application.

Their economy is designed to imply this.

But they look like food to too many lifeforms.
I would avoid them for environmental reasons.
They are a consumer society product.

I'm curious, what size bolt ( machine screw) are you going
to use?

Small machine screws I bet.
Jon should use pins, the parcel and serve the buckles.

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?

First hole worn out a bit?

Do the cotter pins all look like the same size?
