Kinda what ive been thinking..there was nothing online part wise, so maybe the only way.the are press fit HT steel, save on complex machine process at factory.
can't buy the pins seperately, no reason you could make something close enough though. I'd be putting a bit of welding rod in it.
true..does look biggerI think the hole in the plate is a bigger diameter than the hole in the fork. you might have to be a little bit cleverer than just a pin.
