Friction vs. Non Friction pins

Recommended Posts

i just received a lot of Black and White axle/pins....but i am not sure of the Part # i have:

since you can get both of this part in White and Black in Friction and Non Friction....how do you tell the difference?

i got a nice lot of them for my custom colour coded rebuild of 8641 using various pins and axles to colour match the look of the model better, i also bought a load of White axles in various lenghts, and Part #4265c in Blue.

The grey one has ridges that stick out on the pin side - difficult to see in the black pins, BTW. Best is to test each one and see how easy it is to rotate.

A nice find by the way, as these parts in black or white, regardless of friction or not, are greatly sought after

Black non-friction versions will also have two small dents on the axle half, about 1-2mm from the end, much like those seen on very old cross-axles.
