Brackets for corners of slide - Jack Houpe - 05-30-2023

I was asked by Richard if I had made these brackets to prevent the top of the slide from leaning to far inward and I said I did not and didn't all Newells have them and of course he said no but not a bad idea. Since then a few people have noticed pictures of them on some other thread and have asked about them, all I can say is they work and it makes it easy for the locking pins to align with the holes. I digitized the bracket and created a DXF file for anyone who wants to take to a waterjet shop and have them cut out of 1/4" aluminum plate or you can buy some plate and cut out with a jig saw like these have been cut. 

Well you'll have to email me to get the file, I can't upload it here.

Just a quick heads up. I was all worked up to install these. And then I realized they only work if you DO NOT have slide toppers. A similar idea but mounted on the side at the top, and not in the corner would work with the slide toppers.

Tom I would shop around, I would have done all six of them for that price. I imagine four of them would probably be about 50 bucks since they're not having to do any of the drawing it'd be pretty easy to do.
