Misumi is an industrial supplier, but they don't seem to mind small orders.

Hi Carl. Do you have a picture of the clips on the roof piece before they are engaged? Do you have a link to a source? Thanks -David Smith


 

FWI this style clamp also works pretty good if you have issues with your door gap, that can't be fixed by anchoring the wall to the bench inside.??

Don,?? How is that attached.? I have a dozen of these and their screw holes area always set in the walls "foam" inner area. Not in the strong aluminum framing.? Also they have a protrusion that keeps them from siting flat on any surface and I don't have the room to let them hang over the edge of the door.?

Rick, the ones I have are different from this used on the A wall pics.? Mine are made to be flat.? Ultimately I switched to a vertical slide bolt.

Hello Jonathan:

I only used one screw, the rest are nuts and bolts.

The hook in the roof flange has two nuts and bolts, I used a low profile head on the inside and the nuts on the outside. After tightening I filed off the excess thread to the top of the nuts.

The latch on the inside has one screw into the thin plywood. It is really there to fill the hole in the latch, I don't expect it to hold anything. I drove it in and then removed it to add Elmer's Glue to the hole before replacing the screw.

The other hole is a bolt and nut. The hole goes through both layers of the aluminum edge then the bolt has a slim head on the outside and the nut is under the clamp.

Since the walls and roof sections can shift, I would suggest making the hook narrower. This makes latching easier.

Put these on 8 years ago. One that was the most out of line failed, but was easy to replace.

They really tighten up the camper where it needs help.

Take care, Carl.

I followed Carl's lead and installed these on the walls of my Aliner.? I wrote an article on the process (in the group files) with the help of another forum member (see article) to perhaps make it easier for others to make this upgrade:

I would think every Aliner should have this upgrade to protect the side walls from blowing inward.? It happened to me twice -- but never again after adding the wind latches.
