It appears that the pins move up, compressing the springs and popping out. The handles stay in place. I am thinking maybe I need to put more preload on the springs. That way when the pins try to push up they will coil bind the springs and not be able to come loose. When you say the angle of the pins are you talking about the cut angle of the end of the pins? The pins appear to be parallel to the surface that goes against the bucket. Hayspear.com knows that they are doing so I cant see them doing it wrong. The bucket was an old style that I modified to meet the SAE universal specs. I got the angles dead on. I measured the bucket compared to a blank plate I have laying around. The depth (horizontal distance) of the pin slots from the face of the plate is exactly the same. The only thing that is different is the angled plate that the pins go into is a little larger, measured vertically than the blank plate.</p></blockquote><p></p>
