Generator slide lock?

[Troutline]

We need to source two new locking mechanisms for the slide out on our generator. Ours seem to be held together with hose clamps and other miscellaneous bits and aren 't doing a very good job of locking things in place! These are the parts with red lever handles and a rubber bumper/cushion. Anyone have a source? Thanks.

Welcome Carol.... Tell us your converter and vintage so someone can try to help.

Hi Carol, I see you have made a few posts, so our belated welcome. As Tom mentioned, the different converters each have their own generator lock so in order to help we need to know your converter and possibly conversion year.

You might take note that most of us use an automatic signature which includes our bus converter info and sometimes other stuff you might like to add. It's real easy to create a signature. Go to the Quick Links heading at the top of this page and click on Edit Signature, the rest is self explanatory. Best wishes for the new year.

If you go to www.mcmaster.com and look for hold down toggle clamps, you should find what you need.

You will want a push/pull toggle clamp.

Carr Lane is a good brand:

DE-STA-CO has the most to choose from (can usually be found local):

Sawdust,

Carol specifically said red handles. Those Carr ones are all shown in green They may be great clamps but the color is all wrong!

Destaco has red handles.
