Hi, does anyone know where to get friction/spring pins (the pins that hold in the trigger micro-switch) for a bushy 2000?

Or the exact measurements? They look about 2x15mm but I'm not entirely sure.

I couldnt' find any small enough for mine, so I just drilled the holes out a bit, and fit them to the smallest pins I could get at my local hardware store. Those are known as tension pins, by the way. www.obdo.net probably has a link to somwhere that sells them; if not I'm sure ICD will sell them to you.

Thanks for the info, I was going to drill out frame and use some 2.5mm pins I had on hand the problem was that the trigger micro switch couldn't accommodate them.

Yeah, I'm not sure what size pin I used (it was standard anyway, I'm in the US), but what I did was took my dremel, and you know the little slit in the pin, where it comes together? Well, I just used the dremel to cut it a hair wider, then pressed it shut again with a vise. I selected a drill bit (don't remember the size, obviously this wasn't the most precise process in the world, but you get the idea) that looked close to the same size as the new pin (actually, a little smaller, but it fit), drilled out the holes in the frame, and BAM. But, it was hard getting them in, and especially out, of the microswitch, so I took the same bit and widened the holes in the switch too (but, I've got an aftermarket switch in mine, so it may have had more room to drill). But now the pins fit securely in the frame, and go through the microswitch no problem.
