    Guessing that duct tape would be unseemly.
    Rustic? Well, no. That was not my intention!

    Previous owner removed all the nuts off the bolts holding it to the base. I didn't realize until it came flying out of the truck during a u turn about 500' from my destination.

    Fixed it by throwing 2x the purchase $$ into replacement parts.
