It would appear that the ratchet strap that was under the bed, if I recall, has gone walk about. The PO says he know nothing, but I am sure I saw it there and have not had cause to look since! Does anyone have a picture they could PM me and some basic dimensions then I can get one made up.

Thanks

Here is what my set up looks like (see attachment) Looks like ratchet is from a boat trailer.

Thanks Dan, my manual only shows a picture of a simple ratchet strap there is no reference to the significant ironware that is in your pictures? So I was looking for the lengths and widths of the strap. I also have 3 HWH slides, 2 bedroom and 1 passenger side front, the 4th slide on driver's side front being power gear and retracted with a spanner, sorry wrench. I have only eyes on the inside of the slides to take a hook so wonder how your "contraption" works, connection wise? I suspect they changed systems? But thanks for taking the time and putting up the pictures much appreciated. Hopefully this further description rings a bell with someone?

The ratchet looks like off a boat trailer. I have no clue how it works; but I am having Kevin do some work and hopefully he can educate me.
