"I anchored the B. T. charge cord to an eyelet on the front garage wall. I added a "stop" point on the charge cord so when I'm backing out of the garage, it will simply pop right off. "
The above comments didn't work out as anticipated...........My lowered truck required me to put the front end up on ramps to handle the install of my magnetic disconnect bracket as described. So a day or so ago when I finished and backed down off the ramps, the disconnect worked as it should.
However, once back down on the ground.............Ooops, not the same results. Yesterday, wife and I drove over to Calabash for (early voting).....an hour plus affair.
Once back at home after pulling into the garage, I went to the front end to pull the B.T. cord out from under front end of truck so I could re-couple it. All I retrieved was the end of the B.T. cord itself. That end mates to a similar connector on the short length of the magnetic connection. So instead of the whole thing popping off the mounting, the two parts separated.............THANKFULLY, when I reached up underneath to the bracket, the female half of the mag. connection was still there with the short end that plugs back into the B.T. cord dangling down.
What I discovered is that the angle of "pull" on the power cord causes the female connector part to "catch" on the lower lip of the front facia.
Merely lowering the eyelet on front garage wall would (not) solve the issue. Still would catch the lip.
Now I'm looking at trying a short 30" length of 2X4 with about 3 eyelets along it so that the "pull" as I backed out would be downward..............Hoping this solves the deal.
Just wanted to alert anyone that just might try to follow the way I did it and might encounter the same problem.
Alternative is I re engineer the damn bracket to allow another 1/2" of clearance in the same spot.
