My version as shown elsewhere.

200mm Hex screw bolts and aluminium brackets I made to suit. $20 all up.

Down sloping slot to accommodate the spring.

They look good Dick.

Instead of having a slot you can pull the trace springs apart and feed a loop through a hole. It is a bit fiddly getting the middle bit out of the spring - you have to push the hooks over each spring turn until the loop drops out. But then the middle slides straight back up with one push.

I have made 5 the same for the front sun screen except just a hole in the long section to accommodate the occy strap hook and shorter and thinner bolts.

I use the same modified drill socket that suits my stabiliser legs. wink

They look good.

I got four 12mm washers & 4 10mm ones. Put a 12 mm washer on to each coach screw & then forced on a 10mm one to hold the larger one in place.

I'll make some of those brackets & thread them onto the guy rope springs & job done.

Took the Aldi pegs back & got a refund too.

My corner steady 3/4" socket tool modified for use with a battery drill fits the Hex Head coach screws too.

Better than pegs I reckon.
