Hi to all. I have a 1942 round dial (new to me), I am in process of performing "maintenance" that was neglected over the years before I became the owner. After pulling the apron, I found that the interlock latch arrangement between the half nut and forward/reverse knob was missing a 1/4" diameter pin that connects the lower half nut to the small sliding latch plate that engages a slot in the forward/reverse shaft, and the interlock was not operative. The pin slides in a diagonal slot in the latch plate. I'm planning to install a 1/4" hardened dowel pin to replace the missing pin, but I am not sure how long the pin should extend past the face of the half-nut it will be installed in. It has to extend at least as long as the thickness of the latch, and I would think a little more to assure it can't "pop out".
Does anyone have information on the dimensions of this pin, or a pic of it installed on their apron?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards, Larry Snell
