Looks a bit special but generically they're called 'sex bolts' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_bolt . Maybe your AI would find it if you turn off parental control ;).

The other thing I found with mine was that when I had the issue putting your foot under the pedal and lifting it freed them off. That will tell you if it is residual pressure or not.

That might come under the heading of “threaded sleeve”. THere may be something similar if you look at Spalding fasteners or Jay fasteners(?) I think.

I was wondering (hoping!) that as it’s a new cylinder with new seals then maybe the seals could be a bit stiff until they bed in a bit. The clutch side seems to be ok but this gets a lot more piston travel, so moving the seals more.
Last option is to buy a new O.E. cylinder - (AP brand).
These were out of stock when I ordered the TRW. Or have my old one sleeved - don’t know anymore loc...

It's screwed. It acts as a hinge for a bag.

I figure it must be a common item not specific to just luggage abd bags.

So who makes 'em, and where can I buy one?

Or anything similar that will do the same job and look the part, rather than me just using a crude nut and bolt job. 😆.

Oh great ones; Oh keepers of unlimited knowledge and wisdom.

Even AI cannot surpass your vast experience and awareness in all things.

Hence, I come seeking your guidance.

Can anyone tell what the name is for this kind of fasterner, and, who supplies them?

Les, increasing the gap cured it in the end.

You could try cracking open the bleed nipple and see if the drag goes away.

How did you finally resolve the problem?

Trev, I have set the pushrod clearance to the recommended gap - 1/32”.
After a while the drag goes away.
