LPOP Locating dowels
Well SOB, took off my factory LPOP and it only has one dowel holding it to the block. trying to replace with the Melling. Any ideas where to pick another up, or a suitable substitute I could fab up ?

An appropriately sized roll pin would likely work.

Anyone familiar with the show knows Minnie is the boss of the family. Nothing happens without her saying so.
Tony has done great bush fix ideas and I look forward to the next season.
