We're not using the seat anymore so thought someone else might be able to make use of it which is why I was looking for a replacement bolt. i figured a normal nut/bolt was an option. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15901#post-208136 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 16:06:18 +0000 urchaidh 208136@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have you lost just the screw, or the whole assembly including screw and black plastic?</p> <p>If just the screw then, as suggested, there's probably nothing special about - any bolt/screw that matches the thread (a captive barrel nut I'd guess) on the black bit will do, hacksaw to length.</p> <p>If you've lost the black bit as well then I guess you either need to pay for the proper spare or make do with a less adjustable replacement using a suitable washer and a bolt or wing nut. Be ware that a wing nut will come probably come loose and fall off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15901#post-208135 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:58:40 +0000 Neil 208135@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A cam bolt is what i guessed it would be called but searching on google only turned up the flat pack thing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15901#post-208134 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:45:09 +0000 kaputnik 208134@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can see why it would be called a cam bolt, but a cam bolt is also the thing you get in flatpack furniture to tighten the butt joints / dowels together - make sure you get the right sort if you go for this option. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15901#post-208131 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:26:58 +0000 wingpig 208131@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cam bolt. You can use a normal (probably M5/4) bolt and nut to replace it (but without the quick adjustability) or get a cam bolt from somewhere online. Can't remember the name of the place where I got some recently to fix the handlebars on the buggy but it had both cam bolts and cam nuts, of which the latter were much cheaper. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15901#post-208127 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:04:39 +0000 Neil 208127@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hahahaha </p> <p>It's basically like a mini quick release skewer- screw to tighten and push the lever down to lock, for adjusting the height of the foot rest. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15901#post-208122 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:38:04 +0000 gembo 208122@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>bit like in Ask The Family, they would show a familiar item from an odd angle and then zoom out. Robert Robinson not in Yewtree. No Way.</p> <p>I would take the footplate with me to the shop? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15901#post-208119 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:28:12 +0000 algo 208119@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>it's hard to see from the picture. What's special about it? If it's just a bolt of a certain length and diameter, I probably have something that will fit - it looks very roughly like it might be something like an M6x40 but that's a total blind guess.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15901#post-208114 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:19:43 +0000 kaputnik 208114@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>can't see from the picture, assume it's some form of machine screw (i.e. a screw threaded to accept a nut or to be driven into a tapped hole. Or put another way, a bolt with a screw head!)</p> <p>I'd assume that any suitable length and diameter bolt out the spares box with a few washers in the right place would do a similar job. Any reasonable LBS shop would I'm sure have one for free / donation to their tips jar. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15901#post-208107 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 12:45:39 +0000 Neil 208107@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="http://www.webersports.com/image/cache/data/CoPilot/CoPilot-Limo-Foot-Cup-300x300.jpg"></p> <p>What do you call the type of screw used to attach the adjustable foot cups in the Co Pilot Limo child seat? I need to find a replacement</p> <p>I have the foot cup, but have lost the screw. </p>
