Aren't you a machinist? You could just make a cylinder and then drill and tap the top of it for a bolt rather than what Bosch did with the stud. You could even make it from aluminum until you find the profile you like then make a steel one.
I believe the pin should only ride on the single long taper, not on the steeper angle at the bottom.
Where did you get the spring from? I could use one... Sent from my XT1097 using Tapatalk
