I am in need of an indicator pin.
Watch ebay. If I'm not mistaken, the toggle chain/indicator pin assembly is the same as seen in the 4-speed hubs. I like the SW for its range, but its propensity to slip is really annoying. I think if the pawls were made of a better material and modern lubricants used, this might be solvable. If the hub has not seen much use your pawls might be OK. I don't know what might be considered a good lubricant but I would consider some sort of transmission fluid.
