So, what's the skinny on the AK hammer and trigger pin retaining plate?  I noticed that the hammer pin on my Bulgarian AKS-74 kit build sometimes walks out a bit.  Would one of the plates correct his, or are they a solution looking for a problem?

It's a toss up.  The wires are perfectly fine, but it is possible to screw up on installing them if you are not paying attention.

The plates tend to be a bit more idiot proof in my opinion.

You pick....ymmv

ETA:   I have two AK's.  Each came with a different wire.  I got two plates just to standardize and found them cheap for like $3 each a long time ago.  They work as well as the wires and now I don't worry about the difference in installation directions for the wire.

I like using a couple of small  (3/8"?) hitch pin clips. They are easy to get on and stay put. Cheap too.
