Stelitto Bolster Pin

[HVAC]

could someone give me an ideal of the size of the top bolster pin in a 11" Stelitto, Thanks

I think you would have to remove the pin and measure the diameter using your drill bit gauge or a micrometer. I'm guessing that most pivot pins that you would encounter in the large stilettos would be 5/64" or 3/32", but there other sizes that it could possibly be. If you need to remove the pin anyway, why don't you just measure the diameter after you have removed it? Or, if the pin came out and is lost, just measure the size of the hole in the bolsters and in the blade using your drill bit set until you find the size that gives you a good, snug fit.

THanks, the reason I am asking is, it is a little loose I wanted to get a rivet punch to tighten it

You don't need a punch. Just use a small hammer to gently tap on an around the edges of the pin until it's snug. Use some sort of anvil on the other side, of course.
