They must have had their reasons for using a taper in this application, it's just not obvious to me what they were.


Chuck, maybe the hinge pin is straight (parallel sides) on that portion when it acts as a hinge, but the end (perhaps 1/4" or so of it, may be tapered for the purpose of securing it into the receiver....like any other tapered pin? Maybe, I donno.
