Random DIY question

[Gentle Ben]

My 2 year old son has a bike which has a pole that attaches behind the seat and lets us push him and control the handle bars. That pole splits in two and the two parts are connected by a clip that sits inside the end of one pole and then, once lined up properly with the other end of the pole pushes a small metal knob out through holes in the end of each pole. The knob is pushed out by the pressure of the clip trying to straighten itself inside the pole which is narrower than the resting position of the clip. that's a poor description and please don't lower yourselves to jokes about knobs and holes.

 

On his bike this clip has broken - I can't find one in our local DIY shop and as I don't know what it's called cant find it on the Internet- does anybody know what it's called? If I can find a replacement it will mean that he can ride to school with his big brother.

Did you try calling or emailing the manufacturer for a replacement parts list?. Otherwise I would suggest taking to your local welder/fabricator. I bet they could have it sorted better than new in no time.

Just drill it through and put a bolt+wingnut on it.

Or find a stick of the right size and shape.

As above broom handle or bolt, easy fix.
