[Public-List] Broken tack attachment

[Kristian Larson]

I had the same problem and changed the bolt between the goose neck and
toggle with a longer one, installed it with the threaded end up and put a
nut that is shaped line a ring for the tack to attach to if that makes
sense. It is a little forward from the original location but seems to work
for me and was an easy fix. I have a picture of it but don't know if I can
attach it.
