Thread: homemade crank locking pin

if it makes any difference i have a manual gearbox...thanks

I ground the end of a bolt to the smaller size after having used a drill bit to determine the required diameter.

i bought one of these, it arrived in less than a week, and a great bit of kit.
Timing Pins Land Rover TD5 | eBay

I got a set of the Laser locking pins locally - they were under $20. At that price it's hardly worth stuffing about trying to fab them.

X2 Thanks to Paul I got the same set posted to me, I didn't see any point in making them

I lock mine(auto) with a drill shank first in a modified air fitting.
It's as per the Haynes manual.
If I remember right it was a barbed fitting for putting a hose on.
Cut the barb off and then used the drill to open up the hole.

thanks for the feedback all...ordered a set today from Sydney, was $23 should arrive tomorrow.

Hi Paul

Do you have a part number and where they were bought? Thanks Ollie
