Here is what I made for my BX. The curved pieces on the end that pivots are a 1 1/2" shaft collar sliced in two, then those cut in half. I used 1 1/2" square tube with one side cut out with a plasma cutter. I used a 1" flat washer on the other end, cut to slip over the cylinder ram.
They are only for holding up the empty FEL, not any kind of load.
Nice fabrication work. I have found shaft collars handy several times. A little rubber or dab of sealant around the upper end might cushion the cylinder rod.
Some loaders the cylinder rods are up, others down. Up makes fabricating an onboard storage easier. Down like yours have clearance issues and need removable ones like you expertly made. In a commercial or industrial work place these would be mandatory for safety. Thanks for sharing.
