Barrow Wheel Clip/Pin (12 posts / 1,284 views)

Hi guys,

Recently bought a new car and I'm going to need to be able to remove the barrow wheel from the barrow frame. It's currently fixed via cable ties and therefore I'm in need of the name of the clips that I will need to be able to take the barrow wheel on and off at the frame of the the barrow.

The barrow is a TFG trail blazer, TFG are no longer trading so can't go directly to them for spares.

Does anybody know where where/the name of the clip showed in the below image. I appreciate it's a long shot but I don't really fancy buying a new barrow...

C3-A67-D7-E-D8-BF-4606-BD73-66-F55-A24-A3-CC

Also YouTube video showing the clips I'm referring to at 1:24! https://youtu.be/jiBxsaBhuFI

As you can see the clip is C/D shaped, can anyone help please?

Thanks!
JimM

Not easy to see from the pic but there's a vid on Youtube which gives a better idea of what you're after. I suspect it's not a generic fitting so think you're going to struggle. Does the pin come out the other side? If it does I'd be tempted to just use a bolt and a wing nut.

struggling to get another picture, apologies for the bad quality one displayed.

Yeah the pin comes out the other side... was thinking maybe some snap clips but not sure if they'd work?

Put "shaft locking pin" into ebay, that should sort you. Need to check dimensions.

Let us know which one you get Jack. I have a TFG barrow, will be the same clips as yours, wouldn't mind getting a couple of spares. Loads of people lose them in my local club!!

Hi mate, bought these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-6mm-Shaft-Locking-Retaining-Pin-D-Clip-Lynch-Linch-for-Trailer-Horse-Box-/323516693230?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

The hole where the pin goes is around 7mm in diameter, the pin needs to be over 50mm so the above should work.

If you're anywhere near an agricultural engineering supplier or merchant they would carry ordinary lynch pins to secure tractor pins. Little bit easier to use than the D type or R clip but they all work.
