KR Wilson engine lifting bracket
I recently scored a repro KRW engine lifting bracket but the 2 knurled pins are missing. Can anyone advise the measures (or a simple drawing) for the pin so I can make them?

Re: KR Wilson engine lifting bracket
The pins are .500 x 2.375 that fit into the bracket and have a .750 x .500 length head. The over all length is 2.875 including the head .
A picture and let me know if I can help as I have a machine shop

Re: KR Wilson engine lifting bracket
It fits in the valley and the two pins drop inside the heat risers.

Re: KR Wilson engine lifting bracket
Perhaps in the other position it's for if a transmission is attached?

Re: KR Wilson engine lifting bracket
Ahh. Interesting. I don't own one, but I've thought that's how it worked. Thanks for setting me straight. I've been on the hunt for one for years. They've all seem to have disappeared.
