Questions & Answers

How far apart are the ball and the bracket pin when fully stretched?

The distance between the center of the bolt hole and the bottom of the ball is 5 inches. 1/4" and can safely stretch another 2" beyond that; any further stretching is probably not advised, and the stretch information is not available in the book. Thank you for your inquiry; if you have any further questions, please contact us again.

Is it true that the WJ208 is a number eight? 45 long?

The WJ208 part number is 7. Overall, it measures 88" in length and has a height of 7. The distance between the mount and the ball latch is 13 inches.

Is this for two people or just one?

pair

What size screws should I use for mounting? Is the metal made of stainless steel or something else? Thanks?

I believe the screws were 12 or 14 in number. Instead of using sheet metal screws, I used 1/4" bolts and washers. The metal bits were zinc-plated steel rather than stainless steel or galvanized steel.

Anything can be closed up! For good! I used it to fix a hood on a mini excavator that had a broken latch
5/5

It does not come with mounting hardware, but you should be prepared to purchase different sized bolts and locknuts for installation depending on your needs. It works flawlessly and is exactly what I was looking for! For almost any application, I would recommend it to anyone!.

helped us level and support an outside door on Lanai much better than any other method we tried
5/5

A large door on our outside Lanai has been scraping the floor for quite some time. We were able to level the door after installing this. The wheel makes it simple to open and close the door, and it has a great device to keep it shut.

It's compatible with Kendon trailers from the 1970s and earlier
5/5

Replaced an old one on my 2006 Kendon trailer, and it was a perfect match!.

Silas is very pleased with his new ride
5/5

For the sidecar, I used the latches that were previously used to secure the removable front and rear end step stools. PERFECT. The following are photographs: figuring out how to make it all work; sidecar completed Silas riding for the first time.

On my 16' car trailer, it's ideal for keeping the ramps in place
5/5

It's well-made and extremely durable. They perform admirably and accomplish the task at hand. Simply pay attention to the dimensional data to ensure that it is appropriate for the application at hand.

This latch is a perfect match for the 8" latch
4/5

Replaced a 20-year-old dried-up latch in a matter of minutes. The clasp stamping is thin, but the hardware is adequate. It worked perfectly for my application.

These are excellent quality and should last a long time
5/5

They were much larger than I had anticipated. Rubber and brackets are extremely durable. There will be no mounting hardware included. As a result, prepare to purchase some bolts for installation.
