3-21. Pin Alignment, Clevis, Cotter, Dowels, Quick Release, Etc. Most linkages have retainer

devices, cotter keys, lacing wire or safety pins to keep the connecting bolts or pins in place. During

BDAR repairs, small pins may become lost or forgotten which will cause linkage or component failure.

Repairing the equipment by securing connecting bolts or pins can be accomplished using wire,

welding rod, bolts or nails. Place the item through the hole and bend the ends to keep it from

falling out. Castelated nuts can also be retained using this method. Alignment pins or dowels can

be replaced with cut bolts. Use a bolt that is a tight fit in the hole, tap the bolt in and cut to

proper length.
