Quick-Clip pins for carts

Advice
#1

Howdy, I got the InStep cc400 and just lost one of the pins, and I’d like to replace it as well as get spare ones. Where do I turn to?



Turn to the manufacturer?



Thanks!

clips
I tried to find a close-up picture of the clip, but not much luck. The best I can tell it looks like a common clip that you should be able to find at a good hardware store or farm supply store. Maybe even Harbor Frieght.



Good luck.

It’s like a screw
with a ring the keeps it in place.



If you put and screw with a nut though then you lose the ability to take it out to fold the cart.



I just found these but in another brand…

My diameter is 3/4 so it looks like a match.



Thanks!

For future reference.
Hardware stores have that kind of thing.



You can see a similar clip at:

I picked it up from the local Ace Hardware store.

Loews and Home Depot too
I picked up replacements at my local Loews.

I’m on my way
to Ace.

bad design to use
You should replace it with an R clip. My cart came with the same type and i lost them on the first portage. I had to make do with a nail I found on the ground.

This style is not nearly as prone to falling out. I would be surprised if a good hardware store didn’t have them. By an extra and tape it to the frame.

Bingo!
Ace had them! I will be looking while I get by with these for the R-type.



Thank you all! Happy kayaking and beware of the shark! :wink:

Well I wrote this today
and this kind of makes sense here…
