Step 2Test your guess
It is not easy to get an exact size on the pins by sight. Test to see if your are correct.
Strip some #20 solid copper wire and wrap a loop around the shank of your drill bit. Slide the loop onto the pin. It should not be too loose or too tight. Try a different drill bit if the loop does not fit the pin properly.

Couldn't you also use a pair of calipers to get rid of the guess work? Nice idea with the drill bits though.

Perhaps, but I do not have anything that will reach into the narrow space around the pins. Thanks for your comment. Drill bits are very useful for checking the size of many things, especially the shank end. They often function very well as a "go - no go" feeler gage.
