Yeah, I know.... was kind of in a hurry back in the spring and was thinking more about the road than anything else. Winter is coming [8D]

Phil, are those flat plates or did you have a metal brake and fab them yourself? Looks real clean but cant tell how its fastened. I probably would have a better idea on how you fastened it if I had my Cobra. *waiting patiently*

Phil, cover look great. What will make look greater is to cut off part of hinge bolts and put on cap nuts. I left nut on mine, sawed off bolt with dremel (left about 1/4" of threads) and screwed cap nut on top. You can get at Lowes or HomeDepot.

CJ - I got the plates from Unique, but if you have access to a break they would be easy enough to make. The are secured with pop rivets on the bottom (three per Alan's advise).

I should be posting more pictures so, with help of all those eagle-eyes out there, I can increase my list of "to do's" for the winter (yes Mike, it does get into the 30's in the winter [8D])
