Winner's Circle sells an A frame rebuild kit,
consisting of a new fulcrum pin and the two threaded
sleeves that the pin screws into. An original A frame
has the two threaded sleeves simply sweated in place
with solder. Heat the solder, remove the old threaded
sleeves and braze the new ones in place. I just did it
on one my A frames that was too loose.
