It was copied from the pictures of an original. I do not see how it could fit any other way.

Jordan
It looks like you put the two notches on the wrong end in comparison with the opening. Here is a link to some examples you posted previously: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...91&postcount=4

I have always seen the strap holding the jack into the block into the mount as Kevin alludes to.

Look at the pictures again in that link. The notches are on the same end as the metal plate. I simply copied what I saw. It wouldn't surprise me if there were differences.

My apologies Jordan....I had to look at the one you made again. I did not see the metal plate.....it's so close to the same colour of the jack that without some contrast I was mistaken for what I was seeing.

Looks perfect. Now you need to make some more for re-sale.

Back in 2014 I started making some new replacement engine covers for the Carrier. Well jump ahead to now and I finally finished them. I was stuck on making the handle portion due to trying to reliably bend them. Now that I have a shop press I figured why not give it a go. After a couple of trials I figured it out and pressed up 4 of the handles. Today I riveted then on. In the spring I'll get the panels blasted, primed and painted. One more mini project done.
