Try the next size up on roll pins......if the next size up is to big then take the one you have and drive a small round punch into the roll pin to spread it which will make the it fit tighter in the hole. You may have to round one end off a little to get it started but this will work......I've did it a couple times myself.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Just a word of caution. Use something to back up the handle if you try to spread the pin in the hole, ( I have seen guys snap the shaft off by being overzelous! Also, the easiest way I found to install the roll pins was by using a small pair of channellock style pliers to press them in. John

You cam mash the very end of the pin so that it fits tighter as you complete the last 1/8" of pressing the pin home.
