The gudgeon pins are manufactured from mild steel for strength and durability.
The zinc coating provides a protective layer against rust and corrosion, enhancing the lifespan of the pins, especially in outdoor or exposed environments.
They feature a bolt-on design, meaning they are secured using bolts and nuts through pre-drilled holes in the base.
The pin dimensions are 50mm in length and 12.5mm in diameter.
The base dimensions are 84mm in length and 30mm in width.
No, bolts and nuts are not included with the pack of 3 gudgeon pins. You will need to source these separately based on your application.
Yes, due to their mild steel construction and robust design, they are suitable for applications like trucks, trailers, and skips, provided they are installed correctly with appropriate hardware.
Ensure that bolts, nuts, and washers are correctly sized and tightened securely. Check that the mounting material is rigid enough to support the pin without flexing.
Verify that the drilled holes are clean and precisely 8mm in diameter. Ensure no debris is obstructing the bolt path. Check if the bolts themselves are the correct size and thread pitch.
Clean the affected area thoroughly. Apply a rust converter and then a protective coating like metal paint or a strong lubricant. Inspect the zinc plating for damage and touch up if necessary.
Setup: To install the AB Tools Gudgeon Tailboard Hinge Pins, first determine the desired mounting location. Using the pin's base (84mm x 30mm) as a template, mark the positions for the 8mm holes. Drill the holes through the material you are attaching the pin to. Secure the pin using appropriate bolts, nuts, and washers (not included) that fit through the 8mm holes and are suitable for the load. Ensure the bolts are tightened firmly for a secure connection.
Compatibility: These pins are compatible with any application requiring a bolt-on hinge or pivot mechanism, including tailboards, truck beds, trailers, tippers, balers, and skips. The 8mm hole size is standard for many common fasteners. Ensure your material thickness can accommodate the bolts used.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the zinc coating and prevent rust, regularly clean the pins and surrounding hardware. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the plating. If the zinc coating shows signs of wear or damage, consider applying a rust-inhibiting lubricant or a suitable metal paint to protect the underlying mild steel from corrosion.
