Luke Rainbird Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Leaving the pin in the plate not only makes life a whole lot easier in terms of alignment and holding things together for you when you're pressing the pin back in, but also preserves at least one of the mushroomed ends of the pin which makes for a slightly stronger join too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) How may I leave the pin in the plate if I need to add 2 links? I need new pin to do it. And about using used pins - it's no problem. All the Russians do that for years. Edited December 17, 2012 by clerictgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Leaving the pin in when removing links from original chain = problem solved for future use And yeah, used pins are usually fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
