Repairing old wishbone
Does anyone have any ideas how to repair this vintage wishbone? The previous owner used a nail for a hinge pin which increased the hole diameter. The 2mm pin is now loose and there is a lot of wheel wobble. I was thinking of packing it with epoxy resin then pushing through a 2mm pin, allow it to set then remove the pin. I'm afraid the pin will just get glued in there with it. Any ideas welcome.

First coat the pin with grease or vaseline maybe?

Oh yes, or maybe GT85 (teflon)

Pack it up with epoxy then re-drill the hole?

Thanks, another good idea.
I've not tried drilling epoxy (Araldite) before. Does it tend to shatter?

Try sleeving the hole with some 2mm ID brass (or what ever metal you can get tube)
