Re: Pickup System Fix

Are you just looking to replace the zip ties or the entire mounting setup? I assume there is a clevis in there to attach to you mechanism, and if you simply want to replace the zip ties, we have found that a simple piece of rubber hose that fits over the cylinder's shaft. We used some 1/4" air line on a smaller cylinder this year. It is nice because it provides an easily customized stop position and also a cushion when the cylinder retracts.

If that isn't what you meant, at least it could eliminate the zip tie jungle...
