Re: Hold-down stirrup repair
Larry and Bill have inspired me to want to retofit mine before my East Coast trip, but without going out and opening up the trailer, I was noticing the notch in the picture that Bill posted. It looks like the wall edge where the stock was inserted is screwed into the edge, so couldn't it be removed to facilitate the retrofit? or is there aluminum tubing behind it that would not allow the fix to be done without the channeling?
I would not weld mine either, but I will use a little caulk to hold the reinforcing bar in place, and I will tap the end closest the door so that I could insert a bolt and pull the bar out if I ever felt I wanted or needed to.
