Broken Guide Pins

[Ed_Chambley]

I have seen a thin plate that slides over the tube pins to replace a broken guide pins.  I cannot seem to locate them.  i found the thick ones on Ebay, but none of the thin.  You can actually put a little glue on them and repair the tube.   Anybody know who sells these things?

And don't glue them, so that you can reuse it with other tubes.

The holes are small enough to provide a fairly snug fit with the tube.

 Since I have a lot of old tubes, I keep some of those around.  They do hold the tube out of the socket a bit, but seem to do the job.

10 bucks for 4 is cheap enough , I just ordered some myself , every shop should have these

I have a few of those little devices but the most important thing to do is mark the tube base as to where the key should be. I use a silver Sharpie.
