??hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwell it is N SCALE BOLSTER PINS!!!!!!!!!!! (1)you drill them out same size as the shafts(2)you then file the rounded head flat(3)cut off the narrow part of the pin with your trusty xuron sprue cutter(3)you then file this end lightly and clean the drilled hole out(4) you slide on your new pulley that looks so much better than those out of shape flimsy pieces of junk!!!! if you look at the detail picture that comes with the ppw gun twin stk detail kit the pulleys in the kit are out of scale on the small side and the bolster pins are a bit out of scale on the larger size but not by very much at all!!!!!!the way i found this out was i was building my kit and i bumped my table with my knee the parts as in the pulleys went flying in the air and poof between the cracks of the decking on my porch in the grass they went so in a state of panic almost crying LOL kidding i said what do you do now dumb butt lol so i looked in my tool box's saw those Lil beauties in my n scale box with there little dimples round and wait the 200watt light bulb almost blew do to a surge! and thats the story I will post pics asap
