Challenger draw bar details

Post by Meter rat »

Would anyone have any pictures of the draw bar that goes across the rear of the challenger. Particularly the end piece. I have one picture but it is rather indistinct.

A "Muff decoupling tool" might have a different meaning in the US... :)

I am. I would like to add some more detail. Although the more you look the more details you find.

Frankly if you need a tool to get your Muff decoupled, I suggest you start using some heavy-duty lubrication. Be honest, nobody like a sticky Muff. ;D

I do not understand the tone of the conversation, i always understood that a Muff was a fur lined item that kept ones hands warm in the winter :S
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Not a great resolution, but does show the A-Frame from the Tamiya 1/35 model kit.
