Ollie,

It's easy to make one yourself.
Buy the right size at the CNH dealer. Drill a hole in the length, but stop before you get to the head of the bolt. Than drill a hole from the side a few mm behind the head until you come out at the first hole. To get it work even better you could file the threat away just behind the head. Put two new copper washers on each side of the pipe part and it will work.

Hi, the bolt in my pump just has a slot cut along the thread to near the head. That may be easier to do??

I think thats the correct way to do it and much stronger.

thanks for the advice much appreciated
