    Default Grove Gear Roll Pins

    Hello Everyone
    Im fixing to press my roll pins into the for points on the Aluminum Grove gear.
    The holes are only 1" deep and the Roll Pins are 2" long. I take it that the Roll pins are designed to stick out of the gear 1"? Im curious why, if you care to divulge as well.
    Thanks
    Eddie

    They keep gear from moving in the mounting blocks on a hard landing or if you put too much side load on the system. They should tap in fairly easily with a little ball peen hammer.

    Came to the point of installing the roll pins and had the same question as Eddie. This forum is such a valuable resource!

    Am I to take it that no-one knows the size of these pins?
