Hi All, need a quick hand here.

Anyone know where I can get the pin that goes through the stay on this pic? Mine are worn all to rat $hit. PP doesn't list them.




thx

its a roll pin(IIRC) but the PO stuck a M6 or smaller sized bolt though the stay and it works gud nuf.

the more i think about it...the more of a bad idea that bolt poses to that...

I've used bolts to replace mine since the stay that's attached to the door has had its hole enlarged over the years by use. I had to file out the holes on the door jam to fit the new bolt but it works nicely. One must use a long enough bolt such that the shank of the bolt is the only piece needed. I have cut off the threads of the bolt and filed the cut off to bevel the edges for easy insertion. Sorry, no pics, I'm at work.
