I then drilled a 2mm hole through the ball joint end of the arm and fitted a 1.5mm split pin through both parts and carefully splayed the end of the pin. This literally took me about 15 minutes to do and so far has held up fine.

This is DEFINITELY the best way to get a hole through the arm AT 90 degrees and does not necessitate removing anything on the engine . The only alteration i made to this suggestion was to use a thin nut and bolt instead of the split pin.
I would never have thought of doing it this way but it's brilliant.
Thanks Darryl
