Length of an original 1961 G12/Model 31 gudgeon pin?
Can anyone tell me the LENGTH of the gudgeon pin from an original Hepolite piston for this model? I don't have one to measure outside an engine.

Exact would be nice, Alan, as I have an engineer who's agreed to make/modify one for me & they do like exact measurement, do engineers. Many's the flea I've in my ear about it!
Best regards,

Hi
Surely it's better to measure the piston it's intended to fit - why guess?

If you are going to measure the piston dont forget its the distance less a few thou between the circlip grooves

Just to be clear, above I messured the pin not the piston.Yves.Astein wrote:I am messuring 2.420 inch (61.48 mm) from Hepolite 15036 Article Number.

2.420" looks like the sort of round figure AMC engineers would have used so I am going to take a chance on Yves and "deutsche Teuchtigkeit"! (or is it actually "efficacite francaise", Yves?).
Many thanks Alan, Poul, Mick, Anthony & Yves for taking the trouble to help. Much appreciated.
