i know theres r clips about etc but id like some advice


basicly i have some ramps that fold in the middle, theres a 17mm head bot and nut on each side about 2 inches in length which joins the two sections

in an ideal world if i wanted to quickly split and reasemble the ramps it would be a pain

looking for ideas.........

We use alot of pip pins at work which are a straight pinned shaft with a ball bearing that pops out to secure it in place. I couldnt tell you where we get them from though as i dont have anything to do with that but it might be worth a google search for the right size you need

Hartwell pins described above, probably not good on a hole that's likey to wear.

the pin in the middle that can be released

much like the other pins but these ones may be more suitable as they are designed with heafty shifting in mind

its a good idea mate although i think they will be far too long, couple inches i wrekn is all i need, to long and cars will be going over it
