Push trolley axle rod - can a spare be sourced?

[ClicketyClick]

Looking to see if a replacement part can be sourced, have tried in vain by Googling "push trolley axle rod" and similar terms but with no joy yet. The part itself is 5 maybe 6" in length, with a thread at one end and hooked at the other, and fits at least 2 or 3 generic different-name same-build push trolleys. Any ideas folks? Thanks!

What make is it?

The unattached one in the pic I've posted is from a Crivit trolley, and the white trolley with rod in place is (I think) a Fazer trolley. Have tried searching under both names.

What is wrong with the existing one?

That looks like hollow tubing to me.

If you have broken it just epoxy glue a support piece inside the tubing.

The rod in the bottom pic is actually broken, I've carefully placed it to look as if it's in one piece solely so as it can be recognised. It's not hollow and is probably cast iron. Top pic, white trolley, the other rod (not in view) has a slight bend caused by a knock.

If able to source the part, I can salvage a spare push trolley out of what's left!

I had a Masters Golf push trolley prior to buying my Powakaddy a few years ago, and those tie bars were notoriously susceptible to shearing. I used to email the manufacturer and they were happy to send replacement parts. Not expensive either.

If you cannot source a spare put a sleeve over the broken section and epoxy resin it in place.

I would clean the paint of the areas to be joined, and silver solder them together. Having done that, then brace it with some metal splints epoxy'd in place.
Sadly, it's just Chinese tat made to look half decent and not intended to be repaired like most things now.

Thanks for the replies gents.

Not being much of a DIY enthusiast, I'll likely go with the suggestions of @Billysboots and @IanMcC.

Cheers!

Could be way out here but that looks like you could use a roofing hook bolt which would be a lot heavier duty. You would just need to bend under heat

Tried that and other DIY options when mine broke. The tie bars are a very precise fit so nothing else worked for me.
