pdr sells them already cut for a first gen dodge , 175.00 without a core , 75.00 with a core .....

myself with all the vehicles out there that use a ve pump , i'm thinking 20.00 for a used pin .

if you can use a lathe , they are easy enough to make.

i modded my pin this weekend ,  HUGE improvement .... the pic included isn't my pin , but close enough to get the idea .

I have a related question:
for my 1.9idi would I be able to make a new pin on a lathe same as the stock one but with an actual angle??? What kind of angle would work best?? I have access to a lathe and I wouldnt mind experimenting!!!!
Please let me know
