Considering building alum. arm mount blocks that have an outside set screw that would lock the pin. This would eliminate all pin slop and put an end to block pivot issue.


Anyone else found resolution to this? I suppose eliminating the shim washers would help some by increasing block seat contact. Another option is to find small serrated washers that bite in enough to eliminate pivot.
i was trying to find hinge pins that are longer and drill the mounts so the pin sticks out slightly from end to end and use a set screw to hold them in place this will cause the mounts to stay in place,i will post that pic later with the hot bodies set up
