Just to clarify this...my fork looks pretty much like the one depicted at
<http://www.sarnia.com/obsolete/catalog/tr/6clutch.html>
And I placed my gr 8 bolt at the same place as the photo indicates. Not sure
how long this will last (it's been about 4000mi so far) but it can't be
worse than the pin on its own.

Not to mention the problem of the pin and the bolt "crossing" each other in
the shaft if I understand your description (I might be confusing myself
though).
Good luck Pete.
