Stainless Drop Pin Bolt 8x140mm

[nevis768]

I've tried to find one of these on line for my bow roller, but no luck, anybody got any ideas. The bolt goes through both, so I could drill new holes so the bolts just do one side.

When you say that you could drill both sides, does that mean two shorter 8 x 70mm would do the trick? If so are these any use? (2 x 8mm x 70mm)

Yes, I reckon they would do one side, but I trying to avoid drilling new holes if possible.

A quick look at various suppliers seems to show that 8 x 120 mm is usually the longest easily obtainable, so too short for you. Even in 10mm a maximum length of 120 mm is common with drop nose bolts.

What about a length of 8mm rod drilled at each end to take an "R" clip?

Baseline Marine have a note under the 8mm pins that other sizes can be made to order. Longest standard one is 120mm but you could give them a call.

Thanks for the replies, might just drill separate holes for each bow roller to use shorter pins. I'm using an M8 bolt just now, but no doubt I'll drop it soon ;]

Try these guys pretty certain they can supply. I think they will make to order:

This is my bow fitting with the drop nose pin I made.

I also made a second bigger drop nose pin to retain my anchor

I used 12 mm dis 316 bar welding a head and cutting a slop to fit the drop nose catch

I used a mag drill to drill the extra holes for the anchor

Or thread one end for a nyloc nut and drill the other end for an 'R' clip

Nice bit of work, I'm going up tomorrow so will have another look at it.
