I can not fathom a flat pin. Would they not have to be tapered to "center" the adapter? |

The adapter is centered by the hub - or isn't it?
Different from manufacturer to manufacturer...
I have a pic which shows a TRIGO and a Vintage. I try to add it to my gallery.
You can just see that the Vintage (shiny) has "flat" holes.

the vintage adapter is hub concentric (spelling?) meaning the hub helps support the load but the holes are tapered

There is a flat pin from Vintage, maybe not available in the US, only in South-Africa.
It's also shorter!
You should ask the dealer in the US. Also for amounts he needs! :-)
The metrics are for Backdraft' BMW suspension. Do they also have a problem with pins?
Ask Tony Martin or Reg.
For those who need a shorter pin, you could shorten them on a lathe on the taper side to keep the hex.
As for material, CAV uses EN8, if I am correct. I can check next week.
