So I'm putting together a list of parts for a bionicle MOC I've recently
wanted to create. Since I don't actually have the parts I need yet, I'm
concerned if a couple of them connect like I think they do.

The two main parts in question are these
 
Part No: 60894  Name: Bionicle Matoran Torso, Av-Matoran Type 1
* 
60894 Bionicle Matoran Torso, Av-Matoran Type 1
Parts: BIONICLE {Dark Bluish Gray}
 
Part No: 47295  Name: Bionicle Matoran Chest Torso
* 
47295 Bionicle Matoran Chest Torso
Parts: BIONICLE {White}

Particularly, it appears to me that some of the holes on the av-matoran body
line up with the holes on the torso, particularly by attaching them with either
 
Part No: 3673  Name: Technic, Pin without Friction Ridges
* 
3673 Technic, Pin without Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Yellow}
 
Part No: 2780  Name: Technic, Pin with Short Friction Ridges
* 
2780 Technic, Pin with Short Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Blue}

If anybody could help me, it would be much appreciated.

Don’t know about these particular parts but the connectors should be in-system
(= lined up for Technic holes).

3673 Technic, Pin without Friction Ridges

I’m actually answering because, unless you already have some, 2780 in Blue are
very rare (and expensive).
So be careful with that

Thank you for the response. While blue or yellow are probably my ideal color,
if I have trouble finding them I'm sure I can find something else to use
instead.

I don't know if they would connect but it looks like they would to me.
P.S. I will be adding 2

The torso chest sticks out, you're going to need longer pins.

Ahh, the metru matoran body is larger than I expected compared to the av-matoran
body.

I will need to modify my designs. Thank you for saving me the disappointment
of buying parts that won't work how I intended them to.
