Pin and Weld Cost

Yeah, there's always a mill and a welder involved so its worth that for setup. Sometimes you get something special that wants to be a pain. Even if the brake is drilled, the barrel isn't. I used to make pins for every one too but finally just bought a big bag of 1/8 retention pins. Clock, drill(mill), clean, weld, (Sometimes grind to make smooth, Sometimes), clean again, then refinish. Sometimes cold blue works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the weld is perfect, sometimes brakes puddle because they're cheap and you have to fix that. Sometimes brakes are titanium. Could be mild steel on stainless on titanium. There's more that can go wrong than you think. Of course I learnt all this the same way.
Like I said, Sometimes I make money at $75 and sometimes I lose money at $75 but its been $75 forever.
Are you near Dallas, Douglasville, or Kennesaw?
