Hi
here is a rare item to get, a A-2901 top bow swivel.
It is in nice condition.
The broken bolts have been gently remove (warm and oil) and the threads are perfect.
It will need a cleaning.
As stated by the Naboltz it should be after april 1942 as the thumbscrew thread is not the 5/16 thread but the 3/8.
CLIC TO ENLARGE
Price is $180 shipped worlwide.
Grab it before it's gone

Re: Slat grill top bow swivel A-2901
I believe it is the other way around....
Prior to MB-125809 in March 1942, the A-2901 was used with 5/16" thumbscrew
After that, the A-3719 was used with the 3/8" thumbscrew
is yours 5/16" or was it drilled out for the 3/8" thumbscrew?

Hi Chuck
the thumbscrew on the offered part is 3/8.
I just believe that it has been enlarged from 5/16 to 3/8 , when they make the thumbscrew change.
As the produced parts have to be ended prior that the new production was used.
For the complete history this swivel was bolted to the gpw bracket also for sale.
Hope this will help.
Cheers Alex

By the way, I have seen top bow pivots that have been stick-welded up with a bronze rod and then re-drilled and tapped. This "repair" is a perfectly good one to return an A-2901 back to the 5/16" thumbscrew size.
