Hi Badger,
Personally i cut my pin off, but you can shorten it choice is yours.
As i say i cut mine off and use the jft spider thingy for turing tyres, i got the longer one of the two cos there is plenty of thread on the aubour ( i think it does the 12th scale wheels that have a deeper offset, but does both if you deside to expand into 12th scale).
HTH's
Shiny.
