On my 1975 2200TC I received and advisory on its last MOT of worn front lower shock absorber bushes. I have bought some new bushes but when I removed the shock I realised that the split pin was in the outer vertical hole. When I removed the bushes and shock I realised the inner, horizontal hole was non-existant! It appears to have a rusted pin in it flush with the shaft that I can't remove. I've tried punching it out and it doesn't move and also heating with a propane torch and then punching but no luck. I imagine that drilling may be the only option unless anyone has any other ideas. Does anyone know what diameter this split pin hole should be?
thanks
