This Deckel is new to me and I would appreciate any help you might be able to offer me.
As the title suggests I need to replace the shear pin on my FP1. It is the older model with levers rather than dial for the gearchange.
I have searched this forum and have read as much as I can but I am still a little confused as to how to the pin and the spring clip should be fitted.. If I understand other posts correctly, the spring clip is held in with a rivet and covers the top of the shear pin, holding the shear pin in place. However on my machine, the shear pin seems to be holding the clip in place. The shear pin seems to fit through a hole in the spring clip holding in place. The spring clip itself seems to be broken. I also found a very small pin/rivet at the broken end of the spring clip. Not sure where this went but I assume it was to hold down the end of the spring. I feel that the arrangement on mine is incorrect.
I attach a photo of what I found and also a rough diagram of what I understand the arrangement on my machine is.
I would be grateful for any help getting this sorted. I have ordered the correct shear pins, spring clip and rivet from Franz Singer on Ebay.
Thanks for reading
