Guest Gangel Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Anybody know the actual specs on the pull pin for the 10/12 ounce sinker mold? Its official names is the peg-316. I looked on the Do-it site, didn't find anything. Also will consider the official diameter of egg sinkers themselves. To be honest, I could use all the official dimensions of these sinkers/mold. I have them, but I can't measure something at fine to save my life, so I usually use the "official" measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Can't help you on the pull pin, however you can call Do-It and they will help you with that. What kind of measurements are you looking for. Of the mold cavities or the actual cast part, or are you trying to duplicate the mold by measuring it?????

Guest Gangel Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I want to experiment with other pull pins, and I have an idea for an insert into the sinker itself. I'm not sure if the teflon will work in it, nor which size to get. I have to be precise, because a 2.0 mm insert has to slide in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Gangel, I use teflon on my weedguard pins and it works great in lead. The 2mm(.07875) diameter might be hard to find. I will tell you that teflon is the way to go, as it is strong, will take the heat and retains it shape. Also if you are only drawing 1" of the pull pin through the cavity, it shpouldn't be that hard to do.

Guest Gangel Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I have a email into Do-it... but thanks for the advice... I'm worried about the teflon pull out afterwards in that much of block.... 10 ounces of lead is bigger than most stuff people poor... But I'm thinking the teflon will stretch and pull, like a jerk strap sort of motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdsaw Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 In looking at the way do-it labels their pull pins and base pins I'm guessing that the 316 pull pin is 3/16 or .187, but this is just a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
