Or try a local electric motor re-winders; They're sometimes known as dynamo eyebolts for a reason.

p.s. Which part of Crete are you heading for? I'm quite envious of being able to get Cretan Raki on tap; the honey one particularly.

Just going by your "About Me" bit on the forum, I'm assuming you will struggle to get BSW stuff in France.

This Ad on ebay is listing a couple, so you could ask if he'd split one off for you, but they're not expensive new.

If you have a friend in the UK to post it to you Speedy Hire do them for less than a tenner plus vat

A Dynamo eyebolt is a slightly different form of eyebolt and has a slightly lower safe working load at a given thread size (compared to collar eyebolt). Probably won't make much difference to most of us, but just thought I'd mention.

David, and Martin, you are both quite correct of course; I'd assumed, perhaps wrongly, that since only one was required, that the load would be more or less axial.

I can remember when I was more involved with motorsports vehicle recovery; I wrote a piece about exactly this topic, as folks often used them for winch hook anchor points on their Landrovers, when using a snatch block on the load.
