I repaired the super record rear derailleur. I drilled out the pins and replaced the front plate with one I bought years ago. The plate has some brass tubes to pivot on from the factory which is nice.
I used some countersunk stainless M4 bolts that I turned down. I should have made some custom pins to do the job properly because pivoting on threads isn't very cool, but I'm tight on time at the moment. It's made with lovely tolerances and all metric by the looks of it.
I just need a neat nut solution underneath and maybe counterbore the body so the heads sit lower.... Without weakening the supports too much.
I was thinking of using a spring washer and half-nuts. Or maybe custom dome nuts with threadlock... Not sure yet.
I'm just glad to be able to use it again! There's no play and it's nice and smooth.
