Drawbar Eye Pin

Post by Bensdexta »

Has anyone bought a new eye pin for their swinging drawbar recently - the main pin that goes through the towing eye and secures the trailer?

I've been using a 1" plain pin about 6" long with an R-clip, but it's a shade too small a diameter. And the R-clip catches in the grass and comes out, so need a proper pin. Anyone got a Vapormatic or Sparex part number?

TIA. :wink:

Hi yes good idea, that's what I had in mind.

Have you got one, if so what size and where did you get it?
