Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
This is a premium Talamex aftermarket part, specifically designed for marine use and manufactured to exact DIN 94 specifications.
Can I reuse these split pins?
For safety-critical applications like standing rigging, it is strongly recommended to use a new split pin every time the fastener is removed. Bending the metal multiple times causes fatigue and may lead to failure.
Will these pins rust in saltwater?
No. These are made from A4 (AISI 316) Stainless Steel, which contains molybdenum for superior resistance to chloride corrosion compared to standard A2 stainless steel.
Note: Please verify the diameter and length required for your specific rigging or clevis pin before purchasing. Visit 4boats.co.uk for more sizing options.
