Hi Dale, Saw your note about the new CB and I was wondering 1/ What the weight of your ½" plate steel CB is? 2/ What you do for anti-rust treatment, ie: paint, glass etc? 3/ Was there any consideration given to going with a Stainless Steel plate? ( I'm not sure how the weight and cost would compare.) I know the CB pin in Pelican was replace several years before I took possession, and it has been a source of wonder to me, whether I need to be concerned about replacing or more detailed inspection than just crawling under the trailer with a flashlight. I do have the M-15 in a shop where I might be able to get it suspended. I was quite interested in the discussion of suspension earlier. I was considering a web strap system, but the cleat and chainplate method might be easier. Will probably have to beef up the overhead rafter/joist system, but I think that will be useful over time. Thanks in advance for the info. Since my access to this is at work, my chances to follow up vary according to the work load, but I will eventually get back to you. Harvey M-15 #348 "Pelican"
