I am pleased to hear that your Legio is making a Newstead Lorica. How many are in your group and do they have a website? Does Hungary have many Roman re-enactor groups?
Yes I had to make a modification recently to the turnpins on my Lorica and here is a photo of the latest version. This is fitted through the hole in the collar plate. A washer and split pin holds it in place. Some turnpin versions do not allow movement of the whole length of the rod section through the armour but personally I found that these make the turnpin too rigid when fitting the Lorica.
By the way I am not THAT famous science fiction writer.
