Anyone?

Theres one on ebay for $20, but I can't bring myself to pay $20 for one little bolt!

I may have a used/replated one. I'll check it out and get back to you today.

The best thing to do with those is to drill a hole down the center, then drill a small cross hole in the center of the bearing surface, then machine a groove right at the cross hole, then add a grease fitting.

2xs - they're still selling them at AA, PP, Pelican, etc. AFAIK (I got 2 with my new hinge brackets last year), and $7.99 new is FAR LESS than $20 for a used friggin' bolt!

At that price IMHO - stay away from the 40 yr.old stressed used ones (unless a free for a temp. fix) & the conversion Perry suggests.

ok. Thank you.

I just broke the darn EZ out off in the bolt. Having issues getting the broken bolt out.
