Post by BarryC »

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if there is a brass Pintle Hook available in 1/16"?

TIA,
Barry

Barry I am intrigued, :eh:
Why Brass and what is it for, YES I know that Pintle Pins are for Tow Hooks, but I always make mine out of a portion of steel clothes hanger,
Exactly the right size (2.3 mm) and easy to pin vise a hole for the fixing chain and soft enough to form to shape. If you decide to pin vise a hole for the chain I would first file a flat where the drill bit will be started. :thumbup:
Shaun.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Shaun,

He is the reason for wanting it in brass besides the desire to have an accurately detailed Pintle Hook.
