>> Now I buy the flexible argument of this soft 14 guage hardware wire.Seen that happen and the two bends around the metal hole give me some pausefor thought. But I like the galvanized stiff rod, or stainless if you havebottomless pockets. So Craig, how do you fit solid rod to the brackets?>> Stabilizer wires!Ray, you keep me busy and thinking!The SS wires are threaded (1032) with one end having RH threads, the otherhaving LH threads. A small, female threaded fork called a clevis is theninstalled on each end. Yes, you have to have one threaded LH and onethreaded RH. They are expensive. The opening in the fork, between the"tines", fits over the tab bolted to the stabilizer. A little pin, called,of all things, a clevis pin, fits through holes in the clevis and in thefitting, and is secured with a very small cotter pin. Turning the SS rodtightens or loosens the whole mess, then the lock nuts are tightened againstthe clevis to keep anything from rotating.You better plan on spending the day when you come up here. I'm lookingforward to it!Craig________________________________________________________________________________
