try twl ltd or trojans direct in auckand
Use 2 flat plates and use bolts
Voyager or DMW should have them.
Any half competant engineer can make them
For one of our trailors at work, I bought 4 that were too wide, cut the threaded piece off one side of all of them, then welded the remaining L shapes side by side, with a run along the top and bottom groove created by the round profile. Been through several warrants, never failed. One helluva lot better than the old bolt through a bit of flat plate trick.
Will try a couple of the local trailer shops tomorrow..
Twl might have what I need hopefully ..looking for 70mm internal measurement,100 mm long
70mm internal is a bit naff - most are about 78 or 80mm in that size which is the good old 3". The next size down that would be easily gettable I think is the 67 or 68mm internal, I guess that's 2-1/2 inch but the rest of us work in metric apparently nowadays so clamp them around 50mm internal/nominal SHS... Would 4mm each side extra clearance matter much on a little whingey dingey trailer?
Or looking at the picture, if the other three are looking like that why can't you get another spring washer and a locknut and reuse them? That one looks fine from what I can see. Or, I've wire brushed and spray galved a lot worse looking than that and they haven't fallen off yet...
Sorted twl had exactly what I needed.
