I need the rear eye bolt with the loop at the end. Mine is too bent to use. PM me if you've got one.
Thanks

Thanks fellas, just pm me if you run one down. Mine is bent 90 degrees, cracked, and the threads are stripped so any condition that I can thread into the nut and use to hold a spare is better than I have.

I went through my pile tonight and I haven't found it yet. Still cleaning out the garage. Just as a thought, years ago, I broke one of those and replaced it by taking a really long 1/2" bolt, welded a bar across the top of it to make it a T, dropped it down through the hole and took a thing that was a ring with a 1/2" threaded hole in one end of it (no idea what it was called) and it actually worked great. Maybe better than stock. If you don't come across one, might be an option.

Here's a new one.

Thanks for trying man. I do appreciate it. And thanks for the link laserjock LMC has them for 25$ as well but I think I'll keep looking for a used one.

I couldn't find mine in the metal pile , I think it might have gone with the last load :( . I will see if I can find one at the scrap yard the next time I'm in town.
