Rear Remote levers on a Foton 404

  The pressure out is forward which puts a bungee cord in the way of where your feet go. I've been looking at it and have thought about tack welding a small hinge to the decking where the handle extends to that way I could move the handle forward and flip the hinge over to lock it. So far thats all I've came up with.

   I relooked at it and a hinge wont work because of the deck angle to the arm a hinge wont clear. I'm thinking maybe a slide lock might work, should have enough clearance. I just wasnt coming up with anything a you got me started thinking (sometimes that can be dangerous) lol – thank you.

   I went to Rural King and picked up a slide lock. It works great. Push the lever forward and slide the barrel over. The nuts and lock washers were a real bear on the back side of the decking. I had to get the wife with smaller hands to do two of them. It's done and works good!
