Hi Dave,
That's an impressive idea and as previously stated, definitely cleans up the tailgate.
How have the springs you are using held-up so far? I'm sure it's a balancing act, not too light, but not too heavy. Just wondering.....
I note that you've placed a cap on the end of the s-link that stows against the back of the box to prevent scuffing. Are there other scuff issues such as where the J hook rotates around the top edge of the tailgate?
I like the way the assembly stows in the tube on the tailgate. Is there any issue with moisture getting in there? Perhaps a seal of some kind would prevent this from occurring. Rust and corrosion would be a long-term concern.
I would also like to hear your thoughts on the 1947-1953 AD application. Thanks for putting this idea out here for some discussion. I'm sure other Stovebolters will chime in as time goes on.
Thanks again,
