Lid bale for an 18

[jacko1962]

Saw an old thread where a lid bale was used on an 18 so it could be used to lock the lid and easier to carry. Any body know the part number for this? Thanks

@DrewZ   I need rhe wire only and that will do it? Thanks

Shit 12 bucks to ship a 5 dollar part. Anybody have a template or the bends for this? I can have it made out of SS rod if I can get the specs.

Depending on your application, you may also want the lid lock support, PN 86821, to use as a lid bale.

Just looking for the wire to lock down the lid during transport.

@DrewZ   Do you have or know the thickness of the rod on the lid lock? I emailed ereplacements and they were not to helpful. If you could measure your lid that would help me out. I work at a voke school and the students like little projects like this. Thanks.

Unfortunately, mine is stowed away at my cabin in PA, and I don't know when I'll get there next.

@DrewZ  Thanks for the reply. I will let the students figure it out.

I added up making my own lid bale for a tuck and carry. When it is not locked in place I will be using it to hold cooking utensils. I may end up removing the front handle and mounting a steel plate for my Igrill. Here are some new pictures. Finished product will be Sunday when my shrinktube comes in.
