swing out brackets for a Palamino
Merry Christmas All, We have a friend who has a hard top older Palomino hard top TC and he just got a dually for it. Has anyone put swing out extensions on this type of TC?

What do you mean? Every brand of jack has a dually bracket available.
It's a swing-out hinge that bolts between the jack and the bracket on the TC. You can't have the jacks hanging out in space while driving. First off it makes you too wide to be legal without overwidth permits, and second off they're too easy to hit on things sticking out there.
Shouldn't have to drill holes if you get the right bracket for whatever brand jack it is, but if you do it's no big deal. At least one hole will line up, and they're mild steel so it's an easy drill.
If you need more width you don't need to weld. Just get the dually brackets and some flat plate steel the same thickness as the dually bracket, however wide you need to clear the fenders. Mount the brackets to the camper. Cut the plate steel to the proper length and bolt it to the dually brackets. Bolt the jack to the plate steel.
