Members TinkerTailor Posted November 7, 2015 Members Report Posted November 7, 2015 I know if i wanted to make mine longer one way I may do it is to epoxy a finishing nail alongside of the too short pin, sticking out more....

Members dikman Posted November 7, 2015 Members Report Posted November 7, 2015 fasn8ya, my Pfaff 335 didn't have a pin, it has a manual lever to release thread tension. On the advice of a member I removed the tensioning unit and lo and behold, there was a hole behind it for a pin. I found a suitable piece of rod that fitted the hole and by operating the foot lift lever I could work out how long the rod needed to be, cut it to length and I then had automatic tension release. Might be worth having a look if you can remove the tensioner (one screw on mine is all that held the plate on).
