Actually Carl, there are four layers of bid at the point where the pip
pin exits, two small 1" square reinforcing patches then the two large
pieces. Also mine had two layers of bid in the top recess and I don't
want to disturb these as I think they provide extra retention for the
pins in case the TP6 disbonds. My pins are not quite long enough now.

Subject: Europa-List: Longer Pip Pins
<carl@flyers.freeserve.co.uk>
One thing that has been puzzling me over the last couple of days is why
Mod
73 should require longer pip pins than those originally supplied - 1.75"
My aircraft hasnt undergone the mod as yet and at present there is
between
2-3mm play when you tug on the pip pins. My understanding is that mod 73
requires two plies of bid over the top of the TP6 sleeve and this should
add
no more than 1.5mm to the overall diameter so my pins should still fit.
