The push-button pins are stainless as are the 1\/2-13 receptacles. The billet aluminum latches swing out of the way on a 316 stainless steel shoulder bolt with a pre-installed threaded insert. Also included are two tailgate stops “Flippers” which \u003cspan\u003eeliminate your tailgate chains and those unsightly scissor holds or cables. They\u003c\/span\u003e can be installed on the bottom edge of your tailgate with minimal cutting and drilling and hold your tailgate open at a 90 degree angle.  When installed correctly you won’t even be able to see them.
