With suggestions form the group in another thread I decided to use the 3/8" butterfly ratchet from Harbor Freight. It cost $25.00. I had to mount it to the belt cover so I could still open the top when needed. I used 3/8" id bushings and some old R/C car springs I had laying around. It works great, thanks for the suggestions guys.
Can you shoot a video of it working and how it interfaces with the drawbar itself ?
