lets approach this another way, do you know what the parts are that i am talking about in my post and their sizes? don't say you don't, only say something if you can help identify the parts & sizes. I am thankful you or anyone else is reading the post and pondering answering the question. Your questions feel like you are asking me to teach you about them, rather than read and count.
"Locating pins?"
i thought that was a spot on description for what those pins do, but you had questions
"the ones that align the case halves" ?
...and they continued...
I provided a diagram and the parts numbers showing that was exactly what I was talking about. My daddy always told me a picture is worth a thousand words, i always wondered if he meant to fella's that did not read. (except for bare ladies)
I am wondering what your motives are?
Because then you write "my confusion comes from saying you need 7 of them". well i took my shoes off and counted the pins and i wound up with the 7 toes being used up. regardless of how many I am talking about you are not telling me i am wrong those others are not locating pins they are "other" metal pins that are used to fool people and confuse. You can see things in that picture and they look like pins that help locates the proper position of the two half's of that case,
But thanks for trying, if i get helped you may not be confused anymore....Oh that's what he meant, those 7 darn pins in that picture that those two fella's put up. I get it now. At the 951pm post if you try, take your shoes off and count what's in that post and you will darn near come up with 7. I could not google the parts#s and get sizes or descriptions beyond pins. That's all i got for you. Sorry i was not able to make you understand.
