greasable shackle pins

[muddyhilux]

hi guys,does anyone have above pins uninstalled that they could measure the hole for me,the hole that goes down the centre of the pin?im making some up that are 14mm od and was gna go with a 2mm hole to keep as much meat as pos but just wondered if there was a standard that was mayybe bigger,3-4mm coz 2mm is bitch to drill threw ht bots,cheers

a 4mm hole will be fine, that gives you a 5mm wall thickness...plenty. I'd probably drill it whatever the tapping size for the grease nipple is

Hole is 8mm at the top for about 30mm, then reduces to 5-6mm for the next 20mm to where it is cross drilled with a 3-4mm hole
