But how do you get the knife in to undo them, to be able to reuse them?

Hmm, new plastic trailer ramp hinge bushes, apparently approx 27mm....

I bought 27mm mild steel round bar, it'll be slopping about like anything

Not sure on best course

Buy some 30mm and get it turned down in a lathe.

whoops, wrong thread, although not completely inappropriate.
This cost me £11, to buy another is another £11, then to pay someone to turn down 700mm total length = ???

2x brand new proper pins from IW would be ~£58

Slip a bit of baked bean tin round it, this is the bodgers thread after all

The ifor pins on mine were just thin walled tube, I made some new ones from some slightly thicker walled tube.

25mm water pipe and a slit down one side?
Other option is some steam pipe and slit it to fit and spot weld at the end to keep it there. A washer welded on the end of the inner peg keeps it looking pretty and stops anything moving.
Grease nipple woild be a Rolls Royce job.

Are they tapered - have you tried your bar inserted to see if it is slack?

I did not test both ends but I can't see why they would be, the steel has to pass through two of these in the body (facing opposite directions) and then into a third one in the ramp.

tbh, its only 1.25mm your short and if its mild steel round bar it ill probably swell with rust to be a tight fit in no time, depending on how much you use it i suppose.
when you hammer it into the box it could get a tad smaller...

I did not think about that!

it might not but its possible.
if i was making it from scratch i wouldnt make it a 27mm id for a 27mm pin tbh, id leave at least .5 mm bigger if not 28mm where you are anyway.

And a right grand view look at, vultures are already hovering, Kirklees have just approved the 'local plan' and builders are hoping to build almost 200 homes on some nice fields down Ponker Lane, Skelmanthorpe.
