Has anyone had to fix one of these before or got any suggestions on how too. It keeps popping out. I've tried flaring it over with a hammer but there's nothing left to keep it together. I did think about pop rivets but I'm not sure there is enough room in the casing to fit a rivet. Having said that I may have to look for a spare one! Cheers.
That's the joint I need to fix. The bracket fitted through the hole and was hammered over. This has worn and won't stay joined any more. I'm at a loss on how to repair.
might you be able to drill out and fit a rivet instead? I know you can get countersunk rivets these days.
Yeh good call. The hole diameter is 6mm and the rivet would need to be at least 7-8mm long. I'm having trouble finding one.
These people do pop rivets in the size range they may do ali rivets to suit what you want ! http://www.shop4fasteners.co.uk/acatalog/Aluminium_Steel_Dome_Head_Blind_Rivets.asp
If you are not in a rush and could do a drawing as to your requirements I could turn you something up on my lathe (just for the cost of postage). If you could remove carefully the pin and then measure it I can re-make it.
Ill stick some pics up tomoz. There is no pin. It's hard to explain but hopefully pics will. Cheers for now peeps.
