Nope, won't 'cause it is "almost the same as T types.

Doing a major <snip> here 'cause Barney is sorta correct.
Basically the pins a "staked" in position. What this means is that after the
pins and lever are properly "located" the edge of the "hole" is "bent" in
with a drift in order to maintain position and not "float out".

Actuallly, Barney, they should be "sunk" "just" enough to re-stake so the
thing does not "lift out IN HAND".
'Course, eyeryone in the world knows you ARE the luckiest LBC'er in the world
<G>. No meanness meant. Some folks are just plain lucky. I am sincere
here that for the majority members of the List, re-staking should be
mandatory. For those that have the miles and experiences of Barney, follow
directions as per.
Other questions, please write direct.
Cheers...........

PS: If you go look at a B setup, it was changed to a threaded "locating pin"
which is actually an easy "update" to the early "drift pin" setup.
