Eye/Pivot bolt wanted

[Landy Andy]

Not MoHo associated.

I’m trying to source a few of these for someone that has asked me to help.

Had a bit of a google but can’t find exactly the same thing, and I’m unsure how similar it needs to be.

Any idea of exact name, or supplier?

Thanks in advance
Andy.

this any good might need a die running down and hole opening it will be stronger than the one in the pic from 5.8 material the one in the pic just looks like mild steel

It looks like an aircraft eye bolt, the old imperial ones were AN44 and AN45 series. Does it have any marking stamped onto the side of the 'eye'. Aircraft stuff is often imperial, be careful the thread is not 3/8". Just immediate thoughts.

Looks like a modified farm gate hinge as used on most A Frames

Looks like that is purpose made for a job, these are probably the nearest you will get off the shelf.

Thanks all for your input. It’s off a small tractor attachment, and is used to tension the drive belt from my understanding. There are three of them and he’s managed to snap two of them ?, god knows how, but hoped it would be something I could source and get sent direct, rather than having to alter myself first. Will double check thread on it too. I’m worried with some of the above listed ones that drilling out the hole will weaken it too much, and remove the anti corrosion coating, as it an outside bit of kit. Would stainless steel be strong enough? I know it’s weaker in certain uses, and this will be severely shaken if I understand correctly.
