Parts needed fast

[DeWitt Harrison]

When I did an MC to 3B flywheel conversion a while back,
it was my impression that the pins are actually roll pins
tapped into holes in the flywheel. The pins on the 3B
part where much longer to make up for the lack of
the extra metal at the outer radius. I would think it
possible to find such pins at a general machine shop
supply house. Measure the distances from flywheel
to sensors to get the required lengths. Account for the
mounting hole depths.

I may be able to look up the actual pin lengths in a
Bentley if needed. The family album looks a little confused
as it calls out these pins for the 3B flywheel.
