Hayn Pin Sizes

[edzacko]

Now that he Holidays are over I can get back to rigging.

I want to use the Hayn fittings but my entire rig is specked out for 7/16 turnbuckles and Pins.
Hayn does make 7/16 Turnbuckles however---the eyes come in 7/16 pins but the Forks do not.
I can not get a Hayn Fork with a 7/16 Pin.

This makes no sense to me because all rigs use combinations of forks and eyes so I see no logic to forcing someone to use all 7/16 pins except for the forks.

The Chain plates are bored for 7/16 pins and I do not want to put a 3/8 pin into a 7/16 hole.

I guess I could bush the chain plate but that makes no sense either.

So----the question really is---- Can I "Safely" bore out the Fork from 3/8 to 7/16.

Which is worse---losing the size of the pin or losing the meat from the fork.

I have spoken to Hayn about this and they said that they would have an answer for me "tomorrow." That was a month ago and as yet nothing from them.

Ideas and dialogue would be welcome. Thanks
