Hi List...

Today I am just finishing up installing the extra set of brand new
troop seats down the center of my deuce for the parade Friday (it
turns out I'll be chauffeuring as many as 30 Pearl Harbor vets in my
deuce!). Now I have seating for 35!

Anyway, I never noticed before but there are clips that are mounted on
the ends of the sideboards. Does anyone know what they are for?

Here's a picture:

Thanks, and Happy Birthday to the US!
