Replacement for Plastic Wheel Alignment Pin
A quick search for "alignment pin" in the archives yielded no hits, so I thought I'd ask:
Is anyone aware of a metal wheel alignment pin I can buy to replace the plastic original? That one broke off last spring when I was switching out my winter wheels for the summer set. I was lucky and managed to remove the broken stub from the threads without too much trouble, but don't want to take the risk again.

Just screw it back together. It's held up well so far. I think I drilled it out a bit and put in about a 2" long screw.
