The old pin design with the stepped diameter is no longer available. Not only was it ridiculously expensive due to the multi-step machining process, the threaded stud at the bottom was also weak and subject to failure. This new pin has a much larger diameter thread and nut and is therefore a much stronger design.
1) There are several iterations of this pin. It may be necessary to drill out the hole in the bottom ear of the mast casting as the threaded portion of this pin is larger and stronger than many of the earlier pins..
2) This kit includes only the stainless steel parts pictured above. It does not include the cast aluminum mast bracket.
