Gents:

I took a lot of pictures today and found a lot of very interesting things out. I will post more pictures later of what I found. I don't think what I found will make a lot of you happy campers.

The Trigo pins I have here have a 76-79 degree taper on them.

Today I received a Trigo pin from CNGreen. It has a 79 degree taper on it.

I received a pin from Paul F. today and it had a 76 degree taper on it.

I had several Trigo pins here in stock and they all had a 76 degree taper on them.

I then measured the HUB ADAPTER from CNGreen. It had a 90 degree taper on it.

I think we found why pins are loosening up and doing who knows all not-so-nice things.

I will post the autopsy report tomorrow.
