Swinging drawbar bolts/studs

I got underneath my Dexta this afternoon and was shocked to see that my swinging drawbar was held on by just 3 bolts! The rest of them were missing!
Is there any supplier that supplies these? I need 4 of the longer bolts and 1 of the shorter as my Dexta also has a handbrake fitted.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately the Parts List doesn't give the sizes of the bolts. I'm not able to measure mine at present. Suggest you contact Peter Smith at Forge-Services, who knows his stuff.

If you find out the bolt sizes, please let us know - as mine may need replacing!

The eight holes in the bottom of the axle casing for the swingin drawbar bolts are tapped 5/8" UNC x 1" deep.
When obtaining new bolts make sure that they are the correct length as per the samples you already have. If the bolts are too long you will damage the casting. I get all my UNC/UNF bolts from my local Sparex Dealer.
