ballcock Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 As Snagger said there should be something stopping the bottom pointy end moving forward until it's lifted up the slot which stops it collapsing. If there is nothing there you could fit a bolt out of the bracket to locate it. I'll have to see what's on mine. I bought a kit from Nige years ago but have not got around to fitting it yet as I have no problem with my scissor system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the SIII, it’s just part of the bracket that bolts to the wing, bent inward 90 degrees and pressed hard against the front edge of the bottom of the leg, preventing the bottom end rotating forward (and thus the middle backward toward the bulkhead). A bolt with a nut and large washer each side of the bracket or any other vertical surface would do the same job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
