Pics of the finished product, with handles for moving.


Connection to treddle plate. 3/8" eye bolt. Tightened to the bolt where it swivels nicely. Too tight and it won't work. The two nuts on either side of the eye are very tight.


3/8" threaded rod bent in such a way as to release perfectly. Took 48 bend attempts to perfect this.



Release mechanism. I need to trim the washer and secure it to the frame. Also, the hex nut you see is a 2" long nut that connects two pieces of all-thread rod together. That way the threads don't touch the frame and retard the release. There was a bit of hand fitting.









Actually, I got the bend right on the 2nd try. Also, all that chicken crap was from one day.
