So that's why the Ford GPW had the door strap eye bolt is turned horizontal! :lol: :wink:

Obviously H&S is not at the forefront here (needs must of course) - imagine making a grab for the grenade and pulling the pin out - ! The lever would disengage and the grenade would drop onto the floor and roll off - you have 6 seconds (or thereabouts) to make up your mind what to do ......


Nice photo

I don't think that hanger is OSHA approved.
