For anyone wishing to purchase a new L-19 tie down bolt (with welded ring), these are still available from Air Repair, Inc, Cleveland, MS. Phone # 662-846-0228; P# 0642105; Cost-$26.50 *
*By the time I received mine, adding a "convenience fee (credit card)" $1.12 and shipping (in a small cushioned envelope) $10.70, the overall cost turned out to be $38.32. Pretty pricey for an attachment bolt, but considering how important that bolt is, I guess its not too bad. It is considerably more expensive than the one I purchased in the early 2000's. My original one is probably ok, but since I am planning to go through my Scott 3200 and replace any worn/damaged parts I thought I might as well put in a new bolt since mine has been retorqued numerous times.

Re: L-19 Eyebolt-Tail Wheel
Frank, seeing that you had to re-torque the bolt, it would be interesting to see upon bolt removal whether it had "necked" and to what extent by measuring. Maybe you could post a pic if you find its been damaged in any way.

Re: L-19 Eyebolt-Tail Wheel
Jim, I'll measure the used bolt and compare it to the new one. If there is any visible necking I'll post a picture or send a photo to you so you can do so. I seem to be technically challenged when it comes to posting photos on our site
