66 TT

 I have a 1966 Triumph 650 TT.  The problem I have had for 30 years is it
shears off the kick start pins.  I know this is a very high compression
engine and it has a mean kick back when starting it.  Anyway I was talking
so someone the otherday and he told me there was a way to stop these pins
from failing.  He claimed that there was a kit but I can't seem to find any
info about that.  Does anyone know anything about this problem or how to fix
it.

thanks

 Try sourcing a stainless steel replacement - can't be too difficult to turn
one if you have access to a lathe
