CA Mike,
Sheepherder is an engineer/machinist and thinks in half thousandts; so cut him some slack, please.

Your suggestion is just fine, I have used fractional bits and rods for luger pins when I didn't have the correct metric size, most times they work just fine.

One can always "finish" the repair when the correct piece is available.

You will notice that he(Rich) and I go at it from time to time- in good spirit- and to challenge ourselves to think out side of the box.

Welcome to you and keep posting!
