Popular Post Licensed to kill Posted November 12 Popular Post Share Posted November 12 (edited) Easy enough to make. If you don’t have access to a lathe, you can get a bolt in the appropriate size and pitch, cut it to length and file or grind the slot for the cross pin. I suspect it will be ultra-fine pitch, probably 1 1/2” or there abouts. If it is some off -breed morphadite pitch it can still be easily made on a lathe. Any machine shop can easily make that if you don’t have a lathe Edited November 12 by Licensed to kill 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74744-need-one/#findComment-561774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 (edited) If the spring is broken or the cups wore out you can source them from places like McMaster-Carr, and other specialty houses. The pieces and contours should be standard so all you have to do is get the right diameter.

h67st Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 What is the diameter of the threads? I have some extras I could measure. Are your springs and cups good? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74744-need-one/#findComment-561783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 That’s great news. I was thinking he was going to have to crawl around wrecking yards hoping to find one….

Freightrain Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Depending on the OD, it could be 12 pitch which you could buy a fine thread bolt, cut it off and mill a slot. Presto, replacement. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
