Title: Clevis pin sizes?
Post by: DarkHelmet on October 18, 2023, 01:56:21 PM
 My brake and clutch clevisses have wandered off; same with my handbrake clevisses to the drums. I don't know what sizes they are nor how long they should be and the favorite parts houses dont say anything about dimensions. I dont think they're the same across the car...or are they? If anyone has any on hand for these pieces, please measure them...then I can find some without paying crazy prices or shipping.

Now the issue is finding a store that has those sizes. Amazon does, but at 100 pieces for $18.

Check McMaster Carr

https://www.mcmaster.com/98306A156 1/4" X 5/8"

https://www.mcmaster.com/98306A206  5/16" X 3/4"

Those are 25 packs for $10 ea, so $20 would get you all you'd ever need for your life.....

Or you can order individual ones from Somerford or MiniSpares

Harbor Freight has an assortment pack for $13 that has the correct diameter pins.  They are 2" long, but have multiple securing holes, so you can figure out the securing pin placement and cut them down to length.

Found it. Home Depot seems to carry them however you have to really search what stores have it. I was able to get them individually instead of getting bulk 20 50 or 100. Thank you everybody for digging into the size of these things so I don't have to throw them into orders with a lot of international shipping or have a lot of books sitting around.

BUT!!! This is at significant convenience cost. 4 pins and 6 cotter pins are $23. So what's more economical? Yeah...

Their clever pins are the sizes of tractors.
