NOTE: The two bolts mounting the lower tube are different sizes. The
SlopBuster
™
is designed so that the bottom, smaller bolt will shear off
and allow the SlopBuster
™
to pivot on the upper bolt if a vehicle hits
the mailbox. City, Township, County, State and Federal laws mandate
that rural mailboxes must be of a break away nature.
