Clevis or Eye to A-23822 Brake Pin Clearance
Have we discussed what we feel is the proper clearance of the Pin to either the Clevis or the eyelets of the Brake Rod or Cross-shaft Arms. Looking at the print of the brake rod, it appears that the engineers called for a dimension of 0.313" - 0.318 with a average size of 0.315. The stock pin size is 0.310". That comes in at an average of five thousandths clearance (- 2½ thousandths per side).
On O/S pins, they are 0.340" and I have evidently been 'over-reaming' the holes when we ream to 0.350" -this giving ten thousandths of clearance. Any thoughts on what is too little or too much?
