I have a couple of aluminum bars that are puzzling me. Does anyone know what AB3-5/8x1 1/4x4 are used for?

Default Thanks
Well, you were close but not exactly the part I was looking for. All thoughs numbers can get confusing! But your post helped me find an old thread that had the answer. wedges for the tip up canopy. Thanks for the help!

Default can be used to cut a little wedge...
It can be used to fabricate the little spacer wedge C723 below the canopy strut anchors on each side... I actually made mine from other stock and ended up sending these back with my small pile of returns after the build. I never found any other use for them.

Default me too
That's what I finally discovered. Made the wedges last year out of other aluminum, found it hard to believe this big of piece is required for the wedge, but now I have something for my next project. Thanks again
