mill,drill ,lathe etc) Maybe two R ...

other newsgroups I subscribe to so am I right in assuming that Virginmedia
(my ISP) has had a clearout? Would changing NG settings from All Messages to

Cotter & Split pins
Sun, 13 Sep 2009 19:35:12 +0100
I always understood a cotter pin to be cylindrical with an angled flat
that was either taped into a hole or pulled by a threaded extension

receive it.
Also I understood a split pin to be a hairpin shaped device bent out
of D shaped wire, poked th ...

who sells such items before i go and make ...
