After crunching my quick change gear box, I'd like to add a little protection (not that I'll likely do it again!) I'm thinking of replacing the pin holding the spindle to the gear box with a shear pin. I could use aluminum or brass, and I'm wondering if I should score it so it will shear more easily, or if that will just cause premature failure when in normal operation?
