The Bump Rubber Stop on the Rear Suspension on a BE requires a 3" or 3 1/4 Cotter Pin/ Split Pin to secure it to the axle pad. Local True Value max length they stock is 2.5". Anyone got a source? I could use a long bolt if all else fails but ...gotta be right. Thanks.

PS Not in the Moss Catalog
 
Not sure if this helps you or not , but I would look for an industrial fastener supplier. Here in NH a company called Fastenall carries all sorts of things like that. Problem is you may have to buy a pack of 10
when all you need is 1.
 
ask moss about the 325-430 for the disc brake pads
 
Thanks, found at Moss UK. Unfortunately 24ÂŁ shipping. Added a bunch of other new fiddle bits that are shiny to remount windscreen.

I knew i had received / seen those pins before. And that's where I'd seen it. I still needed the other bits to remount windscreen as I need to helicoil all six threads on my BE Windscreen. Lesson learned, assemble windshield but do not try to pull stanshions in with those skinny little aluminum threads. Then bolt the windshield down. Oh well, shipping will ensure it comes in a timely manner from across the pond. Ordered decals for engine kit sent by Royal Mail vs . DHL and it took a month to arrive. I'm trying to get Bugsy driving for a 7/10 show. Fiddly Bits, Fiddly Bits.
