Do you have the model and type numbers of the engine?

Usually the pivot for the air vane is a longer mounting bolt some times with an upset nut so you can tighten the coil without crushing the air vane pivot .

Should have been install at the factory on the after '62 coil. Even it wasn't they should still stamped the hole in laminates where you could press the mushroom pin in place.

Ok thank you everyone I think I will just add a piece of sheet metal on the face of the air vane so it can be held by just the coil mounting screw
