Dave FYI, I am sending you one of the Cotterpin Installation Sheets so you can see how they were originally installed. Duane PS. The ones on the sub-assembly were done by machine. If you call me some night I can go over how you can do them manually so they end up looking "factory".:laugh::laugh::laugh:
when I worked on heavy duty ag, we only bent the longer leg over top of the stud, and cut the other off just longer than the side of the castle nut. the reason we did this is that for some reason when we bent both legs(either down or wraped them around the nut) they would break and the pins fell out. it was strange how when we left the one leg and just trimmed it we had no problems.
I am a licensed Aircraft Mechanic for over 25 years. The preferred method is over the top, but the other methods are acceptable but not as "professional".
