Yeah and Crusader would of had them mounted and put to good use! Well, Crusader what can you expect from an ex-govt employee? Well ok, ex-military, we should cut him some slack for his service to our great country. You get one more days reprieve Herk.

Mine has no 'rack and pinion', not sure what that would be used for.
My DSP is spring loaded, and when I back into the king pin, that sucker slams shut like a bear trap. There is no way for it to slide open as yours seems to have done, but just to be sure, there is a locking pin.
Like I said, it is foolproof.

Same thing on the Hijacker I have, also built in Western Canada. They have now been bought out by a US firm.

I assume it is also "Foolproof"? Sure would like to see pictures of one of these designs, I might have to change because if anyone can mess something up, that would be me!

Got back to page 4of this thread, I put a link on there. And no in my world there is no such thing as foolproof. If I can screw it up I usually do

Nice looking beefy hitch, if it is like Crocus', what makes it "Foolproof"? Don't quite understand where that comes from. I like the 3//4" retaining bar that looks like it could be "re-surfaced" should a groove get worn in it from pivoting or banging. Is it somewhat tapered to assure a tight fit?

Whoopee! Got 'er done!
Install of the safety latch kit from Butches http://www.butchsservices.com/ and the install was a breeze on my Reese 16K slider. The kit instructions are complete and excellent, as are the included drill bits and transfer punch. The job took about 2 hours layout to clean-up. This is a great product!!!! (and cheap insurance?)

I have the blue ox on mine just for the extra security. I always put the x-chocks on before unhitching and give the pull test after a visual check of the pin capture.
