Does this make sense?

Yes, great explanation! Thanks!

I almost would like a proto type control lever to copy. I could sell those. Very nice indeed.

Just say the word Brian. Thanks again for your help! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Brian, if you do that, think about using some heavy walled tubing instead of solid bar- it would be nice to run the electric wire inside of the tubing. I almost did that with mine (WR Long kit) but I'm no welder.

LSU, nice job. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks jmc. Tubing would be nice but yes I would want some pretty heavy wall stuff. That bender we used would probably not have worked on that though. Would have kinked it. We did fabricate an air over hydraulic DOM tubing bender for roll cages but I don't have shoes that small. The wire zip tied to the side does not look bad. It ended up being a pretty clean install but I like your thought process. I do like running wires inside tubing when I can. Just makes for super clean work. :drink:

Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

How does the joystick trigger work? Do you pull the trigger to close the grapple? Do you have to slide your finger behind or below the trigger and push it out to open?

Thanks walker450. Just my way of making this kit work. Many ways to do it. Sometimes easier to envision putting something together if you can see how others managed to make something work. Hopefully the pics will help somebody.

Looks like James answered your trigger question dead on and probably better than I could have. :thumbsup:

Thanks Happy G. Looking forward to put her to work this weekend. Spent a little time running through the paces but the real work will be in a couple days. :drink:
