Big clevis needed

Help please.

Some time ago I brought some large aluminium clevises with a 4mm removable pin. I now need some more but I can not remember where I got them from. The clevis body is aluminium and is threaded for a 3mm pushrod, the clevis pin is removable and is retained by a built in clip. (see pic).
Any advice on where to obtain some of these would be appreciated although to finish my Tiger Moth project I only need one more. Would be happy to buy more for stock though.

Thanks Greg, but when I rang TJD they did not have any in stock and they no longer deal with Protech.

Anyone else got any ideas ?

When did you ring? My dad saw them in there today and phoned me to reply to you. Even got the part number!!

Just located some at 308 Hobbies (famous shop on the Hollaway Road, London). I have brought their entire stock as they say that they can not get them anymore.

Oh well. I was going to offer to get them for you and take to Baldock on Sunday (assuming you are there?)

There are a few packets at TJD if you do want more

John, if you want to go stainless, I may have some with a 4mm thread and a 3mm pin, Swiss made 1 left hand and one right hand thread per pair.

Thanks for your help guys but having brought up the entire stock from 308 hobbies I am ok for a while. Greg, when I rang TJD the person who answered the phone said they did not have any in stock !!?
