On the bottom end, weld a piece of angle to the rod, then mount a mating piece of angle to the splash pan. (I'm going off memory here, so this may not be quite workable) Anyway, the idea is to hook into the side of the latch mechanism, then let the rod swing into place and lock at the bottom of the radiator.

How many people get a cut of the profits once we start selling these things?

Thanks for the assist.

I will apply it to diagram and when I get it done, I can mail it to you.
