afternoon , any idea where i can get these and what size they are etc . I need them for when the legs join the main frame ( pivoted joint ) .
i have contacted Fox but they have been next to useless unfortunately.
TIA Andy

In that case you just need to measure the hole and measure the biggest bar it needs to go through and add about 10 mm for the bolt

Probably 5 or 6mm by 30mm long

Get a tackle shop to speak to a fox Rep and they would order the replacements from Fox Belgium distribution centre

I'm not at all familiar with that barrow but I've just looked at some pics on the net. One thing manufacturers do to reduce tooling costs and multiple sizes of fittings is to standardise things. Have a look around the rest of the barrow to see if any if the other bolts fitted to it will fit the leg frame holes properly, the thumbscrews if removable would be a start. One thing I would be buying is nylon lock nuts for the other side so they don't come off again, or thread glue (you could use superglue). There are also washers fitted between main frame and leg frame looking at pics on Ebay.

EDIT, the front folding bulkhead will probably tell you the length of the bolt required as by the looks of it it's near identical in design (size wise, frame tube, support plate etc) to the folding leg frame.
