Hi,

I've been given a NATO hitch which is all seized. I need to replace the four countersunk screws and both pins/circlips on the jaw hinge/locking mechanism.

Anybody know if/where I can get these bits?

Thanks

Matt

Have a look on Fleabay mate, you say it is seized, but have you tried putting some grease in it and then tapping it round with a hammer?? Thats all I did with mine, bit of grease and persuasion and it might not be as seized as you think.

If you need all of those bits for definite it could be worth buying a new one.

Two pins & circlips and four 1/4unf bolts can't cost £60+

mine was totally stuck rock solid It didnt rotate at all and was a bugger to get the jaw open. I pulled it apart cleaned it all up and reassembled it with some fresh grease and it all works perfect now. a decent fixings place should be able to give you the 4 screws if yours are damaged
