Thank You I did by just bending a 3/4" wide metal strip and drilling holes on top for the lock. I just used pipe insulator in front to keep it snug.

It is sad that you have to bolt and chain things down so someone doesn't steal it!! ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2025 Ford Transit Camper van 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

So are the brackets one with a break at the lock? So they wrap all the way around? ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

Best solution I have seen so far. You should start pumping these out and sell them on Ebay! ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |
