I had been "about to" do this for years, and finally got around to it today. Especially during build, this piece gets pressure on it and bends down, then you bend it back up - over and over again! Easy, cheap fix, I would recommend everyone do it![/IMG]
I do not get why it is needed?
I installed one a long time ago. Mine's about half as long as Don's but works very well. This is something that Vans should incorporate in the kit.
If vans added a half of a inch to the vertical leg the problem would be solved
