Re: RB-50 rear compartment mod
It looks like you are using wing bolts, not nuts. And, unless I'm mistaken, the reason you need to tighten the wings in to keep the shelf brackets from folding and causing the bed to collapse.
I think you would accomplish the same thing if you simply had some threaded rod sticking out of the threaded inserts. Once the rod is in the hole on the bed rails, the brackets can't collapse and no need to get under there and install or remove the wings. Of course, the platform could lift up and then collapse, but gravity is pretty good at keeping things down and it would take a really big whoopdeedoo to lift the bed off the rails. And, a longer piece of threaded rod would stop that.
