Hi all, Just had this grand with a hitch pin that came out. It looks like there was a flaw in the casting and it was filled and used anyway. When I drill a new hole for the hitch pin about 1/2" further in on the casting, there was about 2/16" of filler there but I was able to drill deep enough that the pin held. I have a couple of pictures if anyone is interested. (by the way, it was right by a strut and fortuantely NOT under the bass strings. Ken Gerler
