I purchased 2 Steel Rods from a local steel dist., each are 12' long and are 5/32" Cold Roll. Larry (the metal guy) is going to make 2 sets of pins (one to use now and one as a back-up), however the extra rods are being pre-cut so that we can make more pins in the future.

My hope is that this will all work perfectly. If it does (and I will follow up as the project is finished) then I can offer to anyone in the group, sets of these pins.

If you ever decide to remove your door handle and have it painted, sprayed w/Linex, wrapped in CF or whatever the case may be, it is best to dissassemble the handles and if you do this, you will need a new set of pins.

I will keep you posted...
