So ordered the SS link bit but thought the rest was on the old compensator cant find a photo showing the side of compensator to check so might have to order a clevis pin as well by sounds of it. Any idea what size as cant seem to find that info easily....


Ill be using a drill with milling bits as not posh enough to own an angle grinder, still got two fingers left to show the man.
Clevis pin 3/8 x 1.25 inch, split pin 1.6mm x 25mm, penny washers 25mm 3/8 hole ... Arctic drills another hole in the clevis pin nearer the compensator, I might just pack with washers.

You might be able to hacksaw the ends of the old pin off and the hoop to remove them from the compensator assembly - or drill them out... the hole at the back where the hoop fits through needs to be bigger too, for the new shackle to fit through.

Or so it appears... Not done it yet! Scheduled for Wednesday

PS the angle grinder is borrowed!

This thread has pictures of original compensator
