    So last week I was towing the boat and the spring holding the latch tight to the ball disintegrated, causing the trailer to come off the ball and hit my tailgate. Luckily the tailgate was the only thing damaged but it was damaged good. I need to get a new shell, but every other part is good to be reused. However, the rods that connect the tailgate handle to the latches on the side were also bent, and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone know how to replace those or what exactly they are supposed to look like stock so I can craft some new ones?
