Default Budget Scaler D-Ring...

Hi everyone, I was at Lowes yesterday and just browsing really. I happen to come across these and thought share these for the budget scaler projects out there. They are only 86 cents each (I think it was). Enjoy.

Not a problem. Like I said, I was just browsing around..Wife didn't like it too much as it took about 1 1/2 hours to "brows" .. But hey, You never know what you will find.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I seen those too. The reason I went with the 2 hole style was because I figured mounting it would be more stable as it wouldn't have any way to swivel from just being held on by one if you were to use the regular mount that comes with these.

I left mine the way they were and just put one bolt through the hole closest to the D-Ring. Reason being, as I tightened the bolt down it allowed the rest of the bracket to "mold" to the underneath and help lock it in place a little more. Since it mimics the shape there is no room for it to swivel at all.

Man, I wish it was that close for me, Lowes and walmart are about 30 MILES away..lol. I get out there once every week or every other so when I need something specific I usually forget my the weeks end (unless I write it down).

I'm jealous
