Default C2 Cotter pin kit schematic --C/Central

Just received the cotter pin kit from Corvette central. Item#:572349 I'ts a nice little kit---WHEN THEY INCLUDE THE SCHEMATIC !!

Says it includes the schematic where ea one goes. ---Guess what---NOT there. I can sit here & guess most of the day & figure it out, but Id prefer to not waste alot of time. Some 38 pins & they really can't be reused.

By chance would one of you members have that page that they were supposed to send along with this.

I'd really appreciate it.

I guess I didn't explain it right. They were supposed to send along a sheet that showed where ea one went. I wanted to get the right ones & sizes etc. specific to ea castle nut on the suspension , not just generic ones from the hdwe store. I know how to use them NW.

Follow me now ? There's like 38 + in this kit

No I don't follow. each through bolt has a hole. Pick the cotter pin that fits tightly through the hole and is the right length. Then use that one. I never even heard of even thought there would be a kit for such thing. Maybe you should contact the vendor

Well yes they have the pin kit. It makes it nice & exact VS taking a generic pin & trimming it etc. They are closed today. I'll just wing it.

Check this kit # out on CC (Item# 572349) It's nice to have especially when you are lucky enough to have all your original hdwe/bolts etc from your car. I cleaned all my hardware & then sent it out to be replated, Black oxide ,etc.

Maybe you won't think I'm sooo crazy then-----lol

An instruction sheet for a cotter pin seems a little much.
