None I know of, other than be sure you've got the right one in the right size. Many people use a paper clip as a cotter pin, but they don't last long in my experience. A Clippiola circular paperclip, on the other hand, works great and lasts forever. You need an awl to make the holes in the leather strip in the back. I've used the awl/glass picker tool on my Swiss Army Knife to do that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
