The stud welders work well, but need bare metal. AU VEE CO also makes the shouldered pins.

How did Wayne replace the pins - I think he used a small stud welder right?

I can't wait to see color shots!

Just to reitterate the stud technique. It is very tough to get those pins laser straight. I was happy with my end results and I didn't seem to have any problems wet sanding and buffing the car. There is quite a bit of a technique doing it so that you don't get that dimple in the metal. JM 2c.
