Al,

I'm having a bit of trouble grasping what you have described.
Anything permitting 85 degrees of up-down motion sounds like trouble
waiting to happen.

I'm in NC, too.... if not too far apart I'd be glad to look at this
contraption and give my opinion... but for the record... something
sounds wrong....

Love your websites. I visit Southport from time to time. I am in Hillsborough.
Check out this link to the coupler in question.

See the little arc cut in the side of the housing with the hex bolt in it? That is the range of motion
for the coupler. Maybe not 85 degrees, but that is the range of motion.
Maybe this helps. I just got back from another jolting trip to Falls Lake and something has to be done.

Thanks again,
Al
