can do   

Quote from: Troopy_03 on August 15, 2026, 07:58:36 PMyou can actually buy them, but $30 is a bit steep.

Thanks!

Yeah, bit of looking around & found $12, but + $8 postage!

Will go with either the bar, or a piece of tube, as you suggest

Quote from: Fizzie on August 15, 2026, 05:25:16 PMThis one came with a 150mm pole-tube, & is for locking the push-on cap in place.

Was thinking about doing similar with the screw-on cap I have on the 90mm conduit tube for sullage hoses.

OK, so dimensions aren't critical, and it doesn't need to be tubular. I'd just use a piece of 10mm staino bar and drill a hole in each end for an R clip. Or if you have a welder you could weld a washer on one end, and use the R clip at the other end.

I was surprised to see you can actually buy them, but $30 is a bit steep.

Anyone up for an Amigos this coming wednesday at the Settlement in Cranny (same as last time)..

Quote from: Fizzie on August 14, 2026, 07:41:44 AMThanks, everybody, for suggestions re Clevis Pins - closest thing I've seen so far!

Thinking that mine may be a specially made up thing? CP are all apparently solid & reasonably short, while the one I showed you is hollow, 190mm long x 13mm OD!

If you can't find one for sale, you may be able to get someone to weld a washer to the top of a piece of tube, to make one.

Depending on the critical dimensions, and where it has to fit, you may also be able to just get a piece of tubing and instead of welding the flat head, drill a hole for a split pin to retain a washer slipped over the tube.

A pic of where it is installed maybe helpful.
