While in Louisville last month Dave Mills trailer latch mount plate come loose from its bond to the trailer body causing the lid to open while he and Brenda were driving at speed on the freeway.
I know that PaulR and others have had the same problem with their latch mount plates breaking loose and I have now designed a reinforcing bracket that I'm sure will stop this problem.

I made my prototype yesterday and am very happy with it. The hardware is on order and I will be fabricating the brackets in the next couple of days.
I hope to be ready to ship the "Trailer Latch Reinforcement Kit" by the end of this week.
The kit will include the T-6 aluminum reinforcement bracket and will include all the required stainless steel installation hardware.

Cost for the kit is $19.95 plus $6.00 packaging and postage.
To order your kit or for more information, please call me Toll Free at 800-4-FMBBOX (800-436-2269)

Don't wait until it's too late and your stuff is in the middle of the road!

Send me an e-mail or call 909-683-2209 if you want to insure that your luggage stays in your trailer.

There have been many accounts of the latch plates coming loose and the lids opening while people are driving down the road.

Matching Trailer Coupler Locksets and Upright Trailer Stands are also in stock and ready to ship.

Finally got all your stuff installed

Latch kit looks great. Had to trim one of my bushings as the factory put the latch on crooked.

Put the trailer stands on - what a great idea - really saves space.

Thanks for all your help. Can't believe I finally got almost everything done on the car. Take care and hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

John
