If you know of a small metal shop they might be able to fabricate you something.
The original ones bolt into existing captive nuts in the chassis but some after market ones clamp around the chassis.
Could always make some templates out or stiff card if you are able.

To all our members on the forum, a lot of us have been on the forum a very long time and we are all aware of the banter between members and about certain accessories including scaffolding bumpers... sorry Alex.

It might be a good idea when making these comments to consider how long these posters have been active on this site, just looking at their profile we can see when they joined and how many posts they have made, and we should be a little more cautious on what we say.
Over the years we have got a little bit over familiar with each other, as friends would be down the pub.

This what makes this forum as great as it is, I must admit this is the first post in many years of my membership that we have failed to fully please a member, and I'm sure Ken will soon join in with the banter, provided that he doesn't get fed up with me posting, that I have had my Maverick since new for around 20 years.

( here he goes again....

)

with greatest respect to all our members,
Rustic

That's great, and thanks for sharing the information, no doubt that might help other people in the future.

We all work hard on this forum to keep these trucks on the road for as long as possible, and of course at the lowest cost, without compromising safety.
