There are a bunch of ideas for rear chain dogs out there and I have tried most of them. This one seems to work very well.

It uses micro pieces. Here is the final product.







The front grey rod prevents the dog from over-rotating and jumping the chain. The weight of the other pieces keep the dog in a down position so it always catches the chain. No pieces have to be modified to make this.

Start with these.



make this





then add this



Slide 2nd grey rod through all the holes and put spacers on the end.



Put clips in holes in car (only non-micro parts)



Press spacers into clips



Voila!

Great idea, I think I might just have a few micro pieces to be able to do this. Definitely looks better then the back chain dog I ended up using on Tundra. Thanks for sharing!
