| Re: e-track mounted chocks There is an inline one available for the Pit Bull too. I had some custom made, and he still sells them I think. The HondaGals can point you to the guy. I don't have his info handy. |

EDIT: Just noticed you weren't a fan of the Pit Bull. Maybe it's time for bed...

| Re: e-track mounted chocks The Pingels I've had were tall, and would come into contact with your brake rotors easily. |

| Re: e-track mounted chocks Yup, what Conq said. Pingel, and most other chocks, will hit your rotors. PitBull will not. Go with them! Accept no substitutes! Go to that link I gave you and call Performance Trailers...ask for Glen.
Conq, how did those brackets work that he made for you? Didn't one break?
At any rate, ask him if he's still got them or has improved on his design. If not, just add the horizontal piece of etrack and you're good to go! |

| Re: e-track mounted chocks Yeah, one developed a crack over time. But I think he reinforced them on the later models. |

I've seen other removable "pop chocks" unpop themselves at inopportune times.
If you don't hear back from them, keep bugging them. They're good guys but sometimes you need to prod them a bit. But, you've got plenty of time till June!  |

| Re: e-track mounted chocks No, he had his own trailer. I just supplied the brackets. Then he supplied additional welding to reinforce them.  |
