    Hey there. My dad and I just bought RB10’s and have the same problem. It’s actually the wrong screws. We also bought 2 new Pro2 SC10’s which use the same exact brace and screws (#31509). The screws on the SC10 however have a larger head that actually covers the hole and holds the pin in. I went ahead and bought the STRC hinge brace anyways and those are perfect. Keeps more dust out too. Thanks for the video ! If you look at the hinge pin screws on the back side of the front arms those should have the right size head. Same number 31509.
