Thread: New method for sleeving oversized pivots

Thanks for showing another way to fix those oversize pivot holes. I have used Devcon metal epoxy and drilled a proper sized hole through it. The other way was to peen the end of a solid piece of round brass stock, cut it so it was a bit long for the hole and peened the other end in place, filed both ends flat and drilled the right sized hole. Your method would be much simpler.

I should have linked this to begin with:

I've done the brass sleeve method and the epoxy fill/redrill method... both worked fine and I would still use them if the oversized pivot were small enough to snug up with a sleeve or so out of round that refilling it was the best choice.

This method seems to be more convenient: using washers that you probably already have if you're repinning, not having to reshape materials, no waiting time for drying, and no mistakes redrilling a pivot hole crooked.

Thanks for the post. Always looking for new ways to solve these problems.
