Adam: thanks for your comments! In response to your question about the assembly "vibrating out when your going down the road?" The cylinder can't move once its installed. The vehicle owner uses the
Template to manufacture the keyhole in the tailgate endcap (both sides). Thru that
Keyhole you install the cylinder aligning the locator such that it slides thru the small opening of the keyhole and then you rotate the whole cylinder so that the machine screw is inserted thru the singular hole "C" from the template to the now reindexed locator (both ends)
Machine Screw and Locator. The whole unit is now effectively locked in place and can't move. Also, the J-hooks are stored inside the cylinder when the gate is closed due to the design of the endcap being recessed 1/2" on the 47-53 AD's. The notch on the J-Hook seats into the saddle at the bottom of the small opening of the keyhole.
