IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
So after getting home last night, I discovered that the nut on the end of the hitch cotter pin had loosened itself off and gone missing. It's a long shot but does anyone have a spare plastic nut which the hitch pin screws into which they'd be willing to sell?

Should be a normal/standard thread.
Get 2 nuts and two spanners and lock them together.
yup that'd work - or you might be lucky and find a domed nut that fits - it's bound to be metric so M5, M6 or whatever. I have a bag of such things if you want to raid it... (although possibly not a domed one)
or if you need to be able to hand tighten and remove by hand, what about a M4/M5/M6 wing nut? Find out the thread and someone might have one - if not ebay sell them singly...
I have some possibly M4 and definitely M5 wingnuts lying around.
Wingnuts! Sometimes the obvious answer is too obvious to think. Thanks for your help, people. I'll be off to B&Q Saturday. Cheers all.
