Completely missed the edges. D-oh! I may get 'em, I may not. That egg shell white had to go!

By the way, I updated that brake pin to a more robust material. This is actually a re-used bolt from the carb. It has a nice smooth section where the two pieces interact and enough thread, clearly, that I could loctite and double-nut it. Shouldn't be going anywhere.

If you're still worried about it then you can always cross drill, add a cotter pin, and then tack weld the nuts ��
Joking obviously, that should service you well and you can always toss a spare bolt & nut into your tool kit when you're hitting the trail.

I know I would literally trust my life to an old chineesium carb bolt with literally not a mark on the head of it ! l.o.l. .
