Need dogbone pins

[Toyonka]

hey, can some one tell me where I can get the dogbone pins? One of the dogbone pins on my rampage fell out and now I'm trying to fix it. All it is, is a 5/32" diameter x 3/4" long dowel pin. But it's an odd ball size and no one seems to have it. Any suggestions?

You might try McMaster Carr. Or stick a piece of the proper size and cut to length numbered drill in until you can find the stock part.


McMaster has a "roll pin" that would work to. Item #92373A215 18-8 Stainless. The kicker is there are 100 per pack and the price is $7.62

I bought some hardened steel pins from Mcmaster, PN# DP5004020, 4mm x 20mm. To make sure they stay in you have to peen the holes on the bones on both sides to roll the metal over a bit, also squash the hole a lil tighter from the sides, just a touch though don't over do it. Then squeeze the pin into the bone in the vise jaws. Worked great so far, the new pins haven't budged since I changed them. You can also try some sleeve retaining locktite, the green stuff to bond them together.

Good suggestion, I didn't even know they made green loctite!

Green loctite seeps into tight sapces and hardens. They use that for pre-assembled bolts that they don't want to dissasemble. Its so thin, it sjust gets in teh nooks and crannies and locks it up. Works great for the pins.
