Oh man - that could have happened to me too  :facepalm2: - maybe paint the 1/4" red on the shaft as a warning in the future  :thinking:

Since there is a lot of work in the masterrod - do you open the rest (or at least one piston for a 1/4" pin, change the bronze bearing (if there is one) is probably the easiest ….

I made 2 of those some times ago.

When you got all the cnc prog done, it's easy to do a couple of those ;-)

The ends are a little bit bigger than the pin, so i hope it will do the job.
Not quite sure what you mean there. I assume pads have to be the same diameter as wristpin to recess in the pistons hole? And the wristpin length + 2 pads must be less than bore by some clearance amount? What am I missing?

The pads are a little bit bigger (diameter) than the wristpin, so they should stay in place.

Yes, but that way, they might also be a pain in the proverbial if you ever need to get things apart again ....

Yes and they always has been when made from cast iron - don't know if you can do the same tempering as with hardening in order to improve matters ….  :thinking:
