J@mes Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I need some pins that will accept an R clip for my camping trailer (removal lightboard and drop down tail gate) but I can't find them anywhere! need to be M10 and 2 need to be 50mm long between the head and the pin hole, 2 need to be 80mm long between head and pin hole. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Try nut/bolt suppliers-you should be able to get a 10mm bolt long enough to give you that kind of length before the thread starts-then just cut them to length and drill the hole in-shouldnt be too tricky-otherwise any engineering workshop could do it for a couple of quid.

J@mes Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Yeh I'm probably going to visit my local machine shop on monday and see if they can spin them up on the lathe or alter some existing bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I used coach bolts for the same thing, fitted them then buffed a flat part at the top and drilled a hole to suit the R pin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
