WANTED: MHM pin adapters for Newman frames
« on: April 24, 2014, 02:13:39 PM »
'just bought some frames and need the pins for them. There are at least two different versions of the pins and we need the ones with narrower body (1 1/8th wide opening).

16 sets to start with, but will take anything.

I have some of the wider ones if you can use those!

Can you post a pic of the type your are looking for? We have three different styles, only one of which I don't like, though
all function exactly the same.

unfortunately, I don't have anything that will fit in the frames we just bought.
Here's what we do have (on a sample new MZX) and it's too wide by about a 1/8th of an inch on the used screens.

$40 per set, I'm pretty sure. I see you know there are different ones for the different frames... they also make your frames off center, so watch that, but I'm pretty sure you'll catch that, it's pretty obvious

We actually have 4 types, just found one I've never seen. Pic attached.
I'm spacing on what measurement is critical to you.

An angle grinder will make quick work of that for you. For the price of the pins new, you're best off making these fit your frames.

Pierre,

I have a box of these...a couple of different styles. (Didn't count them...but there are quite a few).

Would they be of any use?

Let me know.

I am just measuring the bottom width. Do you have extras? I would imagine you'd be using them!
