    This. I drilled a hole to work with the spring clips. Ended up playing with the baby all day so didn't get to the truck. Tomorrow. Maybe.

    Not sure as I don't have a need for protectors! Any Style...

    What about the base plate but two pieces of lightweight angle iron for the uprights on opposite corners of the stack. If they are all close enough in size it might work for all styles?

    Pretty sure it's already on here but I finally got tired of untangling my air hose today. I was to cheap to buy a reel for 7 bucks and the reel just seemed bulkier then I wanted in my side box. I got this for a buck instead. 20161106_162504.jpg 20161106_162752.jpg

    Didn't make it today either. Daughter has school tomorrow so will run out of excuses of why not to go to the truck. Gotta change a set of brake shoes and redo the exhaust so really do need to actually get to the truck sometime soon.

    Home improvement /hardware stores usually carry them. They should be with the extension cords.

    I like it, Chewy. Only thing is, looks like it may kinda be in the way when you hook the glad hand end to the truck. It's zip-tied awful close to that end of the hose. Does it cause problems?

    I may just have to do this with mine.

    I haven't used it since I set it up. I don't see a problem but I'll report back when I use it next. Even if there is a problem zip ties are cheap.
