I have seen some posts about how to lock the SSQA Levers to prevent them from opening and thus causing a FEL attachment to become detached. I have had my Grappler detached a few times while clearing brush. I fabricated three (3) versions of lever locks and I think the last design is the best and easiest to use. The device was fabricated from a 1/2" bolt, nut, 2-washers and a piece of flat bar with a hole in the end to allow a linch pin to lock the lever. The hex head of the bolt is cut off. The bolt fits into an existing hole in the FEL. The flat bar and washer are welded to the end of the bolt, offset from the center of the bolt. I made two (2) for right and left. Best way to further show what I made is with photos. Parden the heavy shadows.
