I would like to have the option of holding open that last slant to put an extra horse in there form time to time. I do not want to remove the divider. Has anyone ever used a powerful magnet to hold that slant open while hauling? I may have to turn the hubby loose with the welder. [Edited by possumjb on 2010-07-28 12:10 PM]

I don't know of a manufacture that will warranty this.

I still do it but my trailer is so old there is no longer a warranty.
