Thread-topic: Pin in TOB sleeve
With my rebuilt OD transmission ready to go in, new clutch installed,
(thanks to Dave and Randall for the "connections" info) it was
interesting to see the "choppy / sticky" clutch thread. I thought
omigod, I didn't realize there were different front extensions on the
trannies; I anxiously check them after work, yes, they are both "short"
- correct for my 4A, even the early 4 tranny that's been on the car. 

But then I start perusing Nelson's article on the Buckeye site, and I
notice "the pin" in the TOB sleeve. I got a new one from Moss, and I
noticed the little hole in it, and I now realize what it's for, to stop
the TOB / sleeve assembly from idling on the front extension tube. The
question is (beside the rhetorical question of why isn't the sleeve just
supplied with the pin) what to use - is it a roll pin, taper pin, or
what??

I suppose I could size it with a drill bit . . . . Do I need to
disassemble the clutch fork / TOB and rig up a pin in it??
