Jim -

The two holes in the front fork of the middle toggle link measure 5.04mm x 5.12mm. I suspect that I could use a larger pin, but I have no confidence in the toggle link at this point.

I suspect that the same person who ground and polished off the top of the link to remove the manufacturer's logo might have heated the metal causing it to go soft. The elongation of the holes might be a result of stress applied during firing to the now-softened metal.
