My version of the stabilizer struts
Been wanting to DIY struts for the front legs on our new fiver.
The coach wiggles and shakes all over the place!
Sooo...here's my attempt at making the struts versus buying.
This is a work in progress:
So far I have this manufactured...
I was worried about crushing the inner pipe with just a bolt tightened into the conduit.
Cutting a 3\4 pipe nipple then splitting it and screwing the cut nipple into the coupling seems to have solved this.
Couple of details:
I'll probably have to weld 3\8" nuts on the pipe coupling.
That'll gimme a chance to whip up some t-handles instead of plain old bolts.
Still working out a few things.
More to come soon (hopefully)
