replacement bow pole or alternate fix

[oceanearth]

Hi all

I snapped the locking screw on one of the adjustable poles of my bow assembly on the far, bed-end of the camper.

The bow assemblies are made of three poles: LHS, RHS and centre. The assembly I'm talking about stays nearest the trailer when I flip the tent over at setup.

I need the LHS pole, which has one right facing, 'L' shaped end that's attached to the middle bow pole on the canvas side of the bed. The other end is attached to a hinge (by grub screw) on the other side of the bed near the tent door. The pole goes diagonally from the hinge up to the top corner middle pole.

Part of the locking screw is still in the pole - it snapped clean off. I could maybe drill it out and just get a new screw, but likely to butcher the thread at the same time. Figured its probably easier and not much more expensive to just replace the whole pole.

Hopefully that description's adequate. I have pics but not sure how to attach them to the post.

Any suggestions on where to get one of the poles or an alternative fix appreciated.

Hi oceanearth,

Replacement pole nuts & eye bolts can be bought at most camping shops

Cheers mate, didn't realise it was that easy to pop out. Job took me about 2 min all up. Took me longer to write the post.
