How far back do the brackets for the tension spring bar have to be mounted?

The brackets should be mounted to allow the chains to be perpendicular when they are tightened.

Hope my answer isn't to late to help. I measured from the center of the trailer ball receiver on the trailer, to the front of the bracket where it attaches to the trailer and it's 28 1/2".

I don't know exactly but I know that the instructions are very detailed and will give you the exact length hope this helps you good luck

Hi, It varies upon the trailer frame. Insert the head on the hitch of the truck. Back up and drop the trailer all the way down on the ball. Place tension bars in their sockets and lift the chains so they are straight up on the frame. This is where the brackets go. It's easy. Hope this answers your question.

We mounted the brackets onto the trailer, but didn't tighten them down so they could easily slide into position after the next step. We then hooked up the trailer to the hitch on level ground, then put the tension bars in the hitch. From there you will be able to slide the brackets where they need to go to hook up the chains to the brackets. I don't know that there is a better way to do it as it depends on the trailer tongue length and other things to determine where they would go. Remember to tighten them down once in position.

It all sort of depends upon the length of the spring bars. You need to mount the brackets in a position that allows the chains to attach perpindicular to the 'A' frame--the chains need to be going straight up and down and not at an angle. IIRC it was between 20" and 24".

The installer set bracket about 2" from end of bar to center of bracket on the crank end, and about 1 1/2" from end of bar to center of bracket.

32 1/2 inches, without any sort of bracket, 37 inches with my CowboyStudio Mount Brackets. (comfortably)

The bracket is adaptable to side mount, it's how I mounted mine. Mine was chromed, not SS.

Minimum 3/4" on wood, 3/8" steel plate, after that it you can go as thick as you want, mount bracket is 3/4" angle iron - L shape

distance between the mounting brackets is 10 3/16 inches on my 600 vlx honda shadow I will have to insert some spacers not much tho so can make it work and it will look on the sissy bar I will haul my golf clubs to the cource

these are the worst tension rods I have ever seen. what you need to do is loosen the screw that holds the spring and adjust the rod. Once you have the right length then tighten the screw. Good luck because the screw doesn't hold very well. I ended up having to take duct tape and taping the rod in place

The brackets themselves are adjustable to a fairly wide range. It fits fine on my bike and I have a somewhat large irregular frame. The distance between them can be manipulate about an inch in or out. Installation does take longer because just about every feature to this rack is adjustable. That's why I bought it. I can get the exact measurement on mine later today if you need it.

Yes. The brackets slide from end to end, so u mount the light bar in almost any configuration.

Bracket end to end is 14.5 inches. Bar end to end is just shy of 14 inches. It Protrudes almost 2 inches from the wall. I absolutely LOVE this thing :))

Actual bar on mine is 31.25" ....then add a lil extra for where the mounts stick out .....idk who was on smart end of the tape when they got OD on it .....but I'm still pleased with it

The yellow mounting brackets hang down about 1.5 inches below the I-beam. The two perpendicular bars have to be flush with the I-beam, but the bar that you hold on to (that runs parallel to the I-beam) sits on top of the two perpendicular bars with two 1 inch spacers.

Has brackets that go onto wall with screws/Sheetrock screws. Then bar attaches to those. Not too hard to do. Recommend using level gauge if available.

I was limited for space on my 60" wall, so I hung four brackets 12" apart and like you're planning, alternated them between high and low. I own four 26" Specialized mountain bikes with standard length handlebars. To make them fit, I inverted (faced downwards) the lower bracketed bikes and kept the upper bracketed bikes facing upwards. The clearance between the handlebars is 1-2". The reason I hang it that way is so I can take any bike out without having it interfere with the others. Hope this helps.

I would guess 2". I mounted mine with some 2x3" rectangular. 3" being the vertical. I did have to buy longer bolts. the 2" seemed to fit nicely between the brackets.

The description in features section says 18", but the arm itself is just under 17" from the pivot center to the end of the shaft. Which mounting bracket you use and orientation will determine whether any length is gained (or lost).

Russiko, The brackets move to accommodate variable stud distance, but the mounting bars are a fixed length. They will show. Happy to help. John Racette - New Mexico Satellite Man - www.newmexicosatelliteman.com
