Top Box lid stay

(1/4) > >>

ST2UP:
Here is my TEMPORARY solution for not overextending the lid on the Top Box when opened and placing undue stress upon the hinge.....did this as a temporary measure 6 months ago until I can find a very small gas strut at the correct length to suit my mounting options and pressure. Well the temporary measure is still in place and working fine.

The lid bolt is apart of the mount for the passenger arm rests

The rest is a very hi-tech bootlace and a couple of crimp terminals.....have them both sides.

I used fishing line steel trace as that already has a loop in each end.

ST2UP:
Making them from insulated fishing trace wire was my first thought.....BUT I lent my swage tool and swages to a mate to make traces and well.......he lost the swages  :||||


So plan "B" was formulated  :grin

swages and swage tool not needed as they are already done and you can get them in different lengths, just cut swivels of with side cutters.  :grin :grin
for next time when boot laces rot off, :whistle

Er/? there is already a screw location hole in the top box - just to the right of the new one in the diagram.
