That sounds beautiful, olds45512.

All I done for a shim on my QL, was simply find a steel washer that would fit the pin outside diameter { and not touch the bottom of the c-channel } , and sand the washer down flat on sandpaper until I was able to get that sucker between the c and axel. Was tuff to assemble, but it can be done. Think of this the same as a GM starter shim, basically in a nutshell. { I get paid full time to jerry fix, field fix, make work, and keep up the fight sort of job pretty good }

Replace the pivot pin keeper coil pin.

If my repair ever ceases to hold tight, I'm going the nut and bolt method. These wide frame are a lot harder to squeeze together than the narrow frame for sure.
