2. The pins with the Mod are sized W24/4 and because I was unsure whether t
hey were the original W24 pin or new, I test fit them into the socket assem
bly W26A,B,C and they fit perfectly. However, in reading Mod 74, it lists t
he pins as W24/7. When reading Mod 52, in the body of the text talking abou
t socket assembly, it relates the new W24/5 pin should be test fit. So, can
someone tell me the difference between the W24/7, W24/5 and W24/4 terminolo
gy as it relates to the pins? I know it is proabably a simple answer for th
is esteemed group, but I appreciate any info as I am trying to increase my k
nowledge of this wonderful aircraft.
