| D3 Towbar refurb parts availability? |
|
Hi all.
Have bought a fixed towbar setup but the locating pin mechanism and cog mech needed refurb (was rusted in tight! 🙄), so I've disassembled it to the component parts to clean it up and refit it, but in doing so I had to cut off the elliptical steel cover plate and its retaining screw.
Anyone know where I can get a replacement please? 🤔
Ta muchly

Its not just a plate
There is a half lock inside that mates with the cog to lock it in place

^^ what he said! ^^
If I can't get a replacement, I might have to weld it into place, but I'd rather not have to do that..... 😏 If it has TIT's or WHEEL's it will cause you problems!!
