Jessopia74 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Just a warning, I got one (cranked) off eBay and they snapped Way too easily. Used to have a Sykes Pickavant that did loads of pins without issue The roll pins are are about 6mm , but the tool should come with a selection of thumb nuts to suit various sizes edit. Tool number for SP is 045400 Edited October 25, 2020 by Jessopia74 Added SP tool number 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cam.in.head Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yes the cheap pins break. What I did was order some good ones through advice of local body shop ( they may well be Sykes pickavant)and then made the knocking bar myself.the one in the kit is usually too short to be of use especially with tight pins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I extended mine with a bit of round tube as another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
