What should be there? How is it held in place? Thanks | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 |

He even included the stiffening cross-bends. It fits like factory and will go back in when I put everything back together. The cardboard ones are cheesy IMHO. (Don't judge me Brad  ) Carl

ridged as the original one was, which lasted for 60 years,
and since I only need it to last 28 years, I'm happy with it.
