I need a new brain ! I searched for ages for nylon shear pins, assuming these were sold as dedicated parts for a number of similar applications and I just wasnt using the right search criteria. it hadnt crossed my mind to look for lengths of nylon and acrylic rod which is exactly what they are. That will do nicely.
If you measure the diameter & what sort of length would suit, I’ll tip my box out & have a root. Obviously no promises, but I’ll stick a bit in a jiffy & shunt it down to you if I’ve anything like.
It’ll also give me the opportunity to clear out scraggy ends, mouse droppings & dead spiders.
