P38A Pins for clutch mechanism

Jerseyp38 said:

The clutch failed this week and I assume it is the roll pins in the mechanism failed again. Almost to the week they failed last year. So my initial thoughts was to ring the breakers but have had it towed to a flat car park and will tackle it again. But whilst researching whether to do something else came across the term spiral pin and it seems these are what I should have used rather than roll pins?

So I have ordered some of these:

I am open to opinion as to whether to use these is a good idea or not.

Also if anybody wants to pop across to Jersey for a few days and spend a couple of the days on their back bending spanners, I can offer free board and lodging........

I would use the stronger pins and inset something steel down the middle as well.
