    The tangs on these pins tend to break when the mag plate is tight and the throttle is twisted hard. So, I’ve made them out of 3/8″ round Acetal plastic (Delrin).  Without a mill, I set them up in the lathe and used a cutter to get the tangs right. Since they slide up and down in the aluminum throttle gear, making them out of aluminum might be a bit harsh as a plastic pin should  wear out before the slots on the aluminum gear do. Just my  two cents.
