Stone Stomper Mid Bar Support Method Of Fixing

Well you're not going to get more detail by being a rude prick.

Thank you Gone Bush, he obviously doesn't have a Stone Stomper

Great reply Gone Bush, as another's by line says, " cost you nothing to be nice".

Bob, no, there is no difference to how it is attached under normal applications, and your method of the trapeze attachment would be no different to mine. There is a slight difference however, with our application, in that we had our draw bar extended when we ordered the van, which meant a longer than normal trapeze.

What I am referring to here, is down to an above average trapeze length due to a longer draw bar, which a lot of vans and campers have, (to accomodate tool boxes and the like)

It is a suggestion by Stone Stomper, and is not something that has to happen. In our case, it was recommended by them, so I was happy to add one and then I got to investigating methods of attachment. This was simply my solution.

G'day Robert, I ,for one, knew what you were on about, having a
Stone Stomper. Why have you mounted the bar above the A frame ?
I thought this would change the angle of stone deflection maybe, &
result in more mesh contact with your WDH..cheers.....oldbaz.

oldbaz,

I obtained the mid support bar position from Stone Stomper. If you have a closer look at the setup (Stone Stompers You-Tube Gibb River Rd Demo) you will see that the outer edges of the trapeze are held at almost the same height as the top of the draw bar chassis rails (A-Frame)

Because of the fixing positions in where it is fitted to the tow vehicle and the caravan, the outer edges are much higher than the bulk of the mesh which naturally tends to sag at the middle. The mid support bar simply holds up the outer edge only , and allows the bulk of the trapeze to fall naturally, albeit that it is held firmly by the "occy" type cords. Here is an image taken from correspondence with them recently:

No worries Robert. Mine doesnt sag much in the middle, perhaps
due to how the ocos are adjusted..cheers.....oldbaz.
