Sorry chaps, but it's me again.

I was delighted with the help you offered when I foolishly lost a few little bits from 80STW I'm servicing and Alan kindly posted me what I needed.

Now, I'm just putting those little gear stud pins back in the brass/bronze gear change thing when I notice that those tiny little pins have a flat end and a rounded end. I guess that means they have a right and a wrong way to go in and butt up against the spring-loaded plunger inside. Looking at the schematics, I can't tell which end goes in and which end sticks out.

Not noticed that they were different before, and I did service another 80STW a few years ago.

I know I could tear down my other 80STW to see, as that one has a gear change that works fine, but I hope someone here can save me the bother.

Which way round do they go? Anyone know for sure? Roundy end out/flat end in or flat end out and rounded end in? Or doesn't it make any difference?

Thank you!
