3/8 Anchor Bow Roller Pin Source?

[jefndeb]

Hello,

I have a 3/8 diameter by 4.1/2" anchor pin and I need to to get a spare pin.

I cannot find that size anywhere.

I called Defender, Forspar and Kingston but the largest they offer is a 5/16 diameter.

Thanks for your input,

Jeff

Check out McMaster-Carr Supply. They should have something that will work.

If no luck consider going to a rigging shop. They may have some thing readily available.

Of ask if they can make something using 316SS rod. A hole could be drilled for the ring and a flip lock flap on the other end which is a better anti loss preventer. Those wee balls often seize or don't hold all that well unless the hole is still a good fit.

That flap, can't think of the specific name, has to be held inline with the pin to pull the pin through for extraction.
