Fiamma F45 Awning repair

[TomCooper]

Hi all, new to the motorhome world and need some help with an awning repair!

I managed to break the half leg on the awning leg, and have ordered a replacement. Not entirely sure how to fit the new one as it comes with no fixings other than some snap rivets. I have attached some pictures of the broken one and new part. The old one looks to have a bolt through, however the new part has no thread!

Please help

It looks like the two fixings push into each other. One from each side.

hi and welcome.

its a simple case of removing the screw in the existing one and replacing with the new.
I say simple although its likely to be a bit troublesome.
unless its quite new the part is likely to need a bit of gentle persuasion to get it out of the leg.

as grasscutter has said the 2 supplied plastic fixing go through the top swivel pin one from each side and lock together.

Thanks all, having another look it really is as simple as pushing them in Appear to over complicated it.

Thanks again

After inserting the pole the "rivet" pushes through the hole then the second rivet pushes in at a ⅓ turn from the first. The internal ribs will then lock together..

It doesn't matter how the old one was fixed....it's broken
