tobes Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I would like to put my nato hicth on the back of my 90, i have read the thread in the tech section about fitting it, that all seems straight forward. Can i buy new pins for the hitch? they are present but look like they have been a bit molested and woulk just like to change them for peace of mind. Its the main pins (A) and also just the little countersunk machine screws (B) that are a bit chewed up, everything else is solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I bought a whole list of bits direct from dixon bate. they were really helpful. cost about £20 to do two hitches, with the pins,clips and little chain bits. I've got the parts and price list (from a couple of years ago) if anyone wants a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 The pins will be fine I am sure, but the other thing you can do is to fit radius arm bolts and Nyloc nuts, they are the same size (once cut to length) and when the hitch seizes up you can put a spanner on the bolt head and turn it rather than battering the s*** out of it with a sledgehammer.
