BBQ Parts

Hi All,

Just sorted out the garage and I can't seem to find the second "hinge and pin" for my bbq which is rather annoying.

I'm after another one of these;

The bbq is a GBC1440WPE.

Not had much luck Googling, however I could be searching the wrong thing!

Cheers

Do you know any machinists? That looks like 5mins on a lathe and 5 mins on a pillar drill. Split pins you should be able to get on eBay or somewhere similar.

Does it have to be easily removable? If not use a bolt with locking nut.

A proper bolt with a shank, some spacer washers and 2 nuts to lock against each other would work too as suggested above if you’re lucky enough the diameter matches a common bolt size.

Engineer snob in me knows people say bolt when they’re thinking of set screws.

Thanks to a quick Google I learnt something today!

I've given it a temporary fix at the moment with a rather skinnier sized bolt, however I think I'm going to have to make a trip to Homebase/B&Q to get a larger bolt.

I'm 99.9% sure the gf has thrown it out iby trying to "tidy" the garage :-\

Thanks for the replies!

Your mistake is clearly allowing the girlfriend into the garage. My wife only ever comes in for an escorted visit
