I'm needing to replace a governor weight pin on my Super A but am having a hard time justifying over $40 for one. Anybody know of either an alternative source or if it's possible to use something like drill stock to make a pin?

Sure! Buy a long twist drill of the correct diameter (from a good mfg.)
Cut the shank to length as required with a cut wheel (even a dremel tool)
dress the ends to suit.
Are there any additional features? a C clip groove can be put in with the cut wheel while spinning the blank in an electric drill or press drill.

Thank you. That'll be a little tricky. It has a hole that goes through the center of the side for a cotter pin.

That hole just pushed the price up a bunch.
Drill rod is HSS, High Speed Steel. It stays hard even near red heat.
Does the pin need to be hard?

I'm going to say so. What got me was that the weight stuck on the pin. Previous owners ignored it. It eventually wallered the hole for the cotter pin so much that the weight almost had full range of motion.

Looks like the reason the price is so high is due to the pin being discontinued.
