Trunk tension rods! Help!

  • Sponsors (?)


I fought with these bigtime on my 72. After a friend poked a 4 stitch hole in his hand, I made a tool for this. Email me and I'll send you back a picture if you want at [email protected]. Basically, I put a 4 inch slot into a 3 foot piece of bar stock. I put the rod into the slot and put a half dozen tie wraps over the slot to make sure the rod didn't let loose. It made this job really quick and much safer. You can't believe how much force is on the rods when trying to mount them.
