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.

Re: Swinging drawbar bolts/studs
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!

Re: Swinging drawbar bolts/studs
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.
