I need some small parts for the wagon.

At the moment I need some door pins and a rear wagon lock (u know with the little hook on it to lift the tailgate)

These are both parts I cant scab from the wreckers for obvious reasons so I have ot buy them new or used but in good cond.

Looking at the hotgem shop I almost died, a doorpin kit costs $50 ! What ? all I need is 4 bloody little metal pins.

I couldnt find that particular wagon lock but I'm sure it would be insanely priced.

Anyone know where I can get door pins cheaper ? Its for a wagon so I only need 4 Smile

There are 3 wagons at U-PULL-IT at lonsdale not sure they have the lock thingy but could be worth a look.

Thought of this, does it work ok ?

I always figured you woulb get problems with the door sagging since the pins expand inside the hinge and make it nice and tight.
