Got my new cover. Sure is pretty, can't wait to get it installed.

2,4shofast (Jason) is gona help me do it. He said we will need hog rings and pliers.

My questions are these....

Anyone have tips who has done this before?
Also, I got online and there are a few sizes avalible for the hog rings. What size do I want?

Thanks guys.

If you carefully spread the old ones open you can re-use them.

Matt we can reuse them if you cant find any, the pliers will make it cake if you can get a pair. If not we can use channel locks and get the job done but it will be a PITA

Take an old pair of cheap pliers, and cut a groove in the working faces, that will work better than channel lock pliers.

Apparently its easier to find the holy grail than hog ring pliers. I can't find anyone with them!

Hopefully one of the guys on our stang forum will have some.

Ask the local ice house where they buy theirs.

Its on!!! The hog rings I found were literally...hog rings. LOL But they worked and the new cover is on. Thanks Jason for your help. Its definitly easier with 2 people, and 1 who knows what their doing.
