[FC] rampside parts

[Ben Stiles]

Try my method.  Get a piece of 1/8" lexan (or aluminum to avoid warping),
cut it to shape of reflector.  Place DOT red reflector tape on it (It is
just long enough with a bit of trim on the curved corners) and wrap some
silver door edge trim from the auto parts store around the edges.  A pair of
reflectors will cost about $12-15.  No kidding.  And unlike repros, these
will REFLECT like crazy!!!!!!!

Let me know if you need any other info on this method.

PS-I have a pair of homemade ones on both my trucks and they work well.
Also...the right ramp handle is the one that always breaks because of the
body flex/stress.  Good luck finding a replacement (they are out there.)
