broken flywheel pin should've used 2084

[scott thomas]

Well, I tried to use the controversial bolt through the bellhousing
on my 200q, only to break the tdc timing pin. I ended up buying 2084
anyway, and what was left of the pin broke off 200 miles after my
upper end rebuild.

Anyway, I'm looking to get a shop to weld up some new material in the
shape of a pin through the starter hole. I might try Chris Semple's
idea of buying the pin from a dealer and extracting the stub of the
old one.

Lesson learned: I'll be another $150 in the hole with the repair of
the pin. I paid $68 for 2084 from Zelenda. My lesson learned is to
not take anymore shortcuts and buy the proper tools. 2084 was cheap.
A flywheel job isn't . Anyway, there were no holes at 9 o'clock on
the bellhousing except for the observation holes for the pin. I would
just buy the proper tools from now on.

Anyone repair their pin with success? Any BTDT's?
