If you mean the two spinners, no problem.
I might be able to snag a Vintage pin from Terry Stapley; you have a correct Trigo pin.
Let me know.

From some previous posts it sounds as though the Trigo pins may be too long for the Vintage holes & would bottom out before the rim seats properly.

Craig,
If the Trigo pins are too long, the ends can be trimmed a little as long as enough "bite" is left for the tightening tool. I had to machine one Trigo to 4" backspace for the tire to clear the fender on one side. Had to take a little off the pin. (No big deal to me; others may take exception. Do at your own risk.)
On the other hand, w the new Kirkham pins, the length would be critical. Can not whack off the hex!
Anyway, I'll get a wheel from Terry Stapley and try it on my (non-shortened) fronts to see:
1. If the Vintage Wheel mates to the adapter face tight. (not botteming out on the pins.)
2. If the spinner holds it on correctly. We know the Vintage spinner will work. I am not sure how I could tell if the Trigo spinner was ok or not. The angles of contact "eyeball" the same. See Spinner comparison image
