My (prototype) pinning system
Hi all; I have developed what I think is a reasonably professional way to make pin collars at home with "normal" tools and minimal skill. Prototype pin and collar shown in photo below on an old Genco. It relies on a homemade drilling/positioning jig which is essentially a piece of steel with a few holes drilled in it which allows you to make collars out of 1/8 inch brass rod. If there in any signifcant interest I could put together a series of photos and explanations of the process
