trailer receptacle assy

Post by Bretto »

I realized I never got the bracket, with the 3 protruding tabs, that sits behind the receptacle assembly and will be making one. But I was curious of what it's purpose was. The only thing I could think of was to somehow act as a guard?
Thanks RickG for pic, I plucked this from your gallery.
Thanks,
Brett

That's the polarizing bracket. This old post may help:

Are the 2 side tabs slightly off of center? I can see that the middle tab is centered but the other 2 look a bit off to one side. And also are they all about 1" wide?
Thanks

That's the original Willys installation and the TB 9-904-9 rotates that 90 degrees to the right (CW).
