I actually doubted it when I first read that it was happening, until I split one my self.

There seems to be a few people having this problem, so maybe a duff production run of these pins?

They threaded into the arm fine, just when I went to adjust the droop the set screw split open.
All the holes were pre tapped, I only tried the one screw so it might happen again. Thats why I will try the nut idea, I will probably change the droop screws to metric any way.
even 2 years ago there were bad batches of those pins, back then you wanted the silver colored ones, they were strong enough.
