Yeah not a good idea to buy a used ratcheting type. Even if you replace the cutters the 'frame' may be loose/worn out. It's 'best' to start with a new one, but if it's cheap enough, and you can hold it in your hand and tell if it's good or not, than maybe.

Will take a look at the other thread, but thinking just some temporary generic turn-downs is your best bet.

If you switch over to a tail valance with cutouts, that would give you more options, especially in the future.

I was thinking. You can cut a slot across a pipe, push it together and weld it, to come up or correct off angles.

Just throwing that out there...

Yes, I suspect that's where I'm headed, thanks.

The stub doesn't have much clamp length because of the welded hanger so I will probably have to weld whatever I do to keep it from falling off. I will likely start with a clamp-on straight section so yes, slits would let me tilt it up or down. I'm literally headed out to take a measurement, will update the other thread.

And the valance with cutouts would be fun but that's a bigger project than I want right now. Priority is a mess on the quarter panel I've been putting off for 20 years.

Thanks again for the help!
