Pointer shown in picture from Bob Gullett 12/05/07 regardless of brand... if this is what NHRA is wanting to be pinned, ok I'll play. Today we took the first of many pointers from one of the engines in the shop for freshining and upon trying to remove the pin from the body of the adjustable piece we found the pin to have a nail head so as it can't slip out... we checked a few more and found the same thing... guess the people that developed these figured out that aluminum grows more than steel at the same temp and made it so it wouldn't slip out. Hope someone will point this out to the managment as they don't listen to me. For now ours will look pinned even tho it's useless
