Hi Chaps,
I'm looking for buy a qty of cotter pins for both my Austin projects. Having searched the forum, there's plenty on the subject.
Normally I would buy from our trusted supplier and that be it, however being over in Belgium and the post office wanting min €30 admin fee for UK shipments, will make a expensive cotter pins.
So a few questions;
Can i replace all the cotters on the car with something Approx Length 1 3/16"
5/16" OD 1/4"BSF ?
Push bikes seem to all 9mm :-(
(The cotters I've just removed, Axle to rear spring where just through and once knocking them out, both useless)
If I buy a qty then i'll replace all / most of ... they are '30 & '31 SWB cars.
Can anyone recommend a supplier in the UK who might offer shipped (final price) or another model car which use them, eg series LR then I could find them through local suppliers or even a European supplier.
Last resort will be UK supplier, delivered to my parents and await collection...
Many thanks for sharing your experiences.......
Kindest regards and great '23
