Parkside multi tool bench leg buggered

[flybeething]

Hi there happy diynotter.
I bought a parkside universal too stand / bench a few years ago when it was in the middle of Lidl. Sat in storage for years and then started using it with a mitre saw - really found it useful. At one point I was moving it around my shed when the left leg got caught and putting some welly into it I heard something snap.... the leg is now loose and I can't work out how to reattach it as it's a funny looking bolt that can be pushed in when the legs need to be stowed away. Additionally the leg doesn't have a hole on both sides so it's tricky to understand how to reattach it unless I drill a hole and just fudge it.

Parkside customer support can be hit and miss but did not come back to me with a part for this (not many idiots who snap these legs I expect).

Any advice on what type of fixing this is and how to attach a new one?

Some pics hopefully I can attach.

TIA

I'd grind the thread off that, drill and tap to take a screw.
Then feck know how as it will be a fiddlyfekkingstruggle, I'd put a screw through a washer, then into the leg while putting a spring on the screw, then using a dab of locktite put the knob on, hold it with grips while doing it up.

That way it's going to be able to be pushed in but will want to come out again.

OR:
Get a long M6 bolt, some big washers for either side and a wing nut or knurled knob with M6 nut in and just bolt it when you need to use it.

Thanks both @mattylad and @big-all - will speak to solent but I dont have to open and close it alot so may go for the bolt option!

If you get a bolt with a wing nut, it shouldn't be too much hassle now and again.
