This replacement part that we make here in our own shop is built stronger with a solid core pin so it will not break off like the originals ( See 560SL wood below for reference ). The original is only stapled on and is prone to fall off with age. We recommend our pin be glued on with a super strong flexible glue in the same location as the original pin. Before gluing rough up the wood and the back of the pin base with 100 to 120 grit sandpaper. We recommend the 3M Super Black Trim Adhesive. Let it dry thoroughly overnight before reinstall the wood shift cover.
