page 7 shows similar pins I have in my MM16

If yours are the same and you cannot determine the size I can pull one apart and give you the information.

what year is your MM16? IIRC, there are a few different versions of guides... I would assume they have different locking rings.

Dan - not sure of the exact year - I bought it used. I believe it is a mid 90's? it has the 4.8 kw motor.

Well I got in touch with Parts Pronto (linked above) - after some stumbling we came up with the part number based on their parts schematic - $75 - HOLY COW!! They only thing I can figure is they areactually selling the entire bearing assembly and not just the locking ring. I'm going to take a different approach and see if I can findf something with an M22 x 1/5 internal thread that I can turn into a locking ring.

When I looked in my manual (just a glance) yesterday, it did appear that was listed as an assembly. Your approach makes more sense, or ask a machine shop to help.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Joe - I don't think we are on the same page - not sure what the pins you linked to are for? I'm talking about the knured internally threaded ring that locks the upper bearings in place. They appear to be a m22 x 1.5 pitch.

I was given this source by the one of the guys MiniMax sales guys in the US: Link. You have to become a member, but that's just a formality.

Most locking rings are standard parts just like nuts and bolts.
In case yours are I suggest asking the local industrial supplier.
