M116A part...anyone have one lying around?

[Flyfishjeep]

I got a great deal on an M101A1 flat bed generator trailer and have started to tear it down to rebuild it. This trailer is from the 50"s or 60's as it has no data plates, but does still sport split rims (any idea on a timeframe?) While removing parts, I noticed that I was missing one of the bolt on eyelets that secures the A arms to the trailer frame. When the pin is removed, it allows the bed to tilt. I am looking for one or more of these bolt on eyelets to replace the one missing. Hoping someone out there might have one or more lying around that I could buy from them. I know I could probably have one made at a machine shop, but I still would like one original one in case I decide to restore this trailer to its original glory. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks All! I will try and take a picture tomorrow to help.

Hi Flyfish,

I saw your post , and that perhaps I would suggest an alternative which may work to resolve your issue. Although not original equipment one of these may work if you can find the right size to improvise what you need. I have listed 2 links below:
