Ez down cable

Got a list or picture of what parts used to make the cable? Plan on making and selling some?

 

I'd be interested in purchasing also

 

I'd had ex down in my 09 and eventually severed the original cable in half. Also using OEM cable creates a bigger gap when tailgate is up.

 

I am going to make more and sell them I just got to get a couple of parts of your interested let me know

 

Those struts are pretty strong...we have one on our F150 tailgate and it works fine. Two would be too much...

 

Ah. I've never seen one used like this before now.

 

I'm in

 

I will make a few and when I get them completed I will let you all know how many I have and also the cost . Thanks

 

I did the same thing, but utilized the factory clips (took time to do) and heat shrunk the thin cable. Never had a prob in 3+ years.

I'll post a pic or two.

 

File looks like the cable is pinched

 

The rubber was accidentally cut when I made it. For the fear or corrosion, I redid the coating a week after I made it.

There are the latest pics from 10 minutes ago

 

Looks like it could work.

Looks like wire rope, ferrule, and heat shrink...

The ez down destroyed my factory cable and I got rid of it after that...

 

Danny, your cable was much easier to do, I'm sure. I think mine took over a fkg hour to split open the factory ends and re-press it .

Your way is just as fine.... and quicker too

BTW, I used heavy duty garage door cable (not the thinner stuff).... It is flexible enough to bend when closed.
