Lunsford hinge pins, which for a gold pan RC10?

Post by flipwils11 »

I'm building a shelfer and figured, what the hell, I'd do titanium hinge pins and turnbuckles. What kit # do I need to get? I checked out Tower but they list the B4 and SC10 and some others, but not sure if those have compatible lengths for my needs.

I think you are out of luck here, they don't seem to offer a kit for the RC10 anymore. They sell turnbuckles in pairs, by length, so email them and ask if they could do the same for their hinge pins.

I personally don't think titanium hinge pins are really worth it anyway. I'm not sure about the weight savings, but titanium is more porous than steel, so they will need more attention than the stock pins to keep clean and smooth.

Thanks, is there a list of stock RC10 hinge pin lengths? Yes, I have read that the titanium ones are not worth the hype but for a shelferwith some other high end parts, I thought, what the hell.

This link is dead. Does anyone have another lead on the RC10 hinge pin lengths?
