I have a high-level idea for a lockout bar for the rear panel. If anyone is interested in making it I would be in line to buy one.
The general idea is that I would like to keep the standard struts and have a mechanism for locking out the rear door at various angles. Here are the initial ideas:
-
a long bar parallel to the windows with a 90-degree bend it in. Similar to what the struts are mounted to currently on the V2, but running vertically the height of the window.
-
along that bar would be holes every inch or so – which would be used to adjust the angle of the lockout.
-
a removable bar would temporarily attach to one of the holes as well as eyebolt near the bottom of the rear door (maybe utilizing the security latch attachment points)
-
when not in use the bar would be taken out.
Horrible drawing attached.
