GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase: apoyos del pasador English translation: pin supports Entered by: liz askew

Spanish to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / Motor (piston)
Spanish term or phrase: apoyos del pasador I thought I had asked this one last night. But I did not receive notification of it being succesfully uploaded via a link to "Your Question" nor does it appear if I do a Kudoz search for the term. Strange... Here is the original context: "Por abajo el pistón se ve perfectamente limpio y los ***apoyos del pasador*** están perfectos, confirmación de que el pistón es nuevo y con muy pocas horas de uso desde su instalación" Any ideas which pin is being referred to and what the "apoyos" would be in this case? Sleeves? Housing?	Berni Armstrong KudoZ activity Questions: 421 (none open) (2 without valid answers) (5 closed without grading) Answers: 550 Spain Local time: 18:10

Grading comment I was hoping for a more concrete term, but this "fudge" will have to do. When there is a degree of dount, I think it is always better to leave it vague, rather than plumb for an answer that might be misleading or inaccurate. They're probably cotter pins, but as I'm not 100% sure.... 3 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer

Neil Ashby Spain Berni 17:15 May 14, 2011  Re: "I only like to specify when there is absolutley no doubt" that's why I dodn't give it as an answer, just a suggestion in passing.....it's true that htere are many meanings for pasador Berni Armstrong Spain ASKER Take your pick.... 15:53 May 13, 2011  I know Dr :-) I'd been thinking "cotter pin". However, as I couldn't be sure (and my deadline was today) I have now "fudged" it with the vague "pin supports". I only like to specify when there is absolutley no doubt which of the many pins "pasador" refers to is beign used :-( Neil Ashby Spain pasador has many many defs.... 13:01 May 13, 2011  http://www.wordmagicsoft.com/dictionary/es-en/pasador.php of which many could be correct in terms of a motor. Eg. no. 5 "cotter pin" might fit the description....good luck Automatic update in 00:
