Do not know if it is the same thing but the Sprite has a fulcrum pin
that "holds" the swivel axle to the A-arm. These are a naval bronze
- read very hard - an usually a pain in the a## to get out. At least
the early / original ones were chrome plated. With time the chrome
would flake off and get imbedded in the swivel pin threads making
removal almost impossible.
