has anybody came across the " ****** lip " Double ( sincere apologies for the nick name for the double, but that was the name they gave them---when you were dismantling and unwraped the bolt the Gate used to drop vertical, it was bad enough on a ledger but feckin big shock if they were on a dropper cant remember who manufactured :embarrest: then,but they were drop forged :wondering:

Sounds like the old big ben double Garry the bolt went into the back of the fitting and was a part of the gate

[philliosmaximus]

nightmare to use as the head of the bolt sits tight up against the gate and your spanner can slip of easy
