Hard to tell without seeing all the pieces apart, but a better solution might 
be to ream out one hole or another, squeeze either a Bronze bushing in or a 
hard plastic, (UHMW) which Might just be better than new.

Subject: Stus-List Gooseneck fitting source?

 

Hello all,

 

Our gooseneck fitting is starting to wear, and the holes in it where the bolt 
fits down the center vertically are starting to wear egg-shaped.  You can see a 
photo here:

Does anyone know where to get a new fitting?

 

In the alternative, could I take it to a local weder and have it filled and 
re-drilled, or would you think that would be unwise for some reason?

 

Thanks in advance for your insights,
