It was suggested to me to use hooks and eyelets, but thankfully after having a look at it I realised it wouldn't hold the panel securely to the cab. But it would have been very easy to install. Now after hearing that I am very glad I went with the clamps - they are very secure. |

do the happs ones really use springs? It looks similar in design to what I have. If its more forgiving I will order one... but not looking forward to ordering it if I have the same problems. I am trying to model it to what was originally there... It originally had the clamp directly against the wood, but the hook was out about an inch (the hook looks like an upside down U so one side you grap onto, the other holds the control panel against the wood). I'm actually pretty supprised it wont stay down... just can't figure out what is going wrong... sigh... btw... why I'm doing this is I found some better hooks. (well, the ability to mass produce hooks). But they where a little longer then the other. but it seemed moving the clamp down the same distance should have made up for it... anyway... want this to be finished.. So I can get back to the fun stuff... |

yes, the happs ones are great... and the hinge does have a strong spring....and it snaps when you lock it in... I think its very good... I think bob roberts also carry it and its slightly cheaper... (but I think you need to order 5 each time....) |
| Lilwolf:
checked therealbobroberts he has them for a buck cheaper... but you need 2... seems like a good thing to me. Hopefully I can use my new hooks with it... but I like bobroberts. I was EXTREMELY pleased with my past orders.... happs pissed me off. Also could use a few other items... |
