Hello ,
   Does anyone have a photo of the locking mechanism that attaches to the right and left hand side of the fiberglass parade boot . Not the slide locks on the center section,  but what looks to be spring loaded wire type mechanisms that fit into the 1/4 inch holes on each end .

  Thanks,
       Bill

G'day Bill, I can take a pic on my phone and send it to you if you want. I can't find our nomal camera since we went away for the weekend.  Are you missing these clips? I have made them in the past, 57 thru 60 are the same. I might have some spring wire here and could bend them up, I'll have a look today. Q

Hello Paul,
   Thank you very much for the photo's , the last thing i want to do is to have the parade boot fly off the car and land on someones front seat . the pair i have made up almost look the same , the bottom line is that they get the job done . Guys like you and Quentin , and all of the clubs membership is greatly appreciated .
