				I sure did like seeing those photos, Barry!  I hope your grandson enjoys great challenges and becomes a skilled pilot, but never has to fire in anger.  I hope your granddaughter has a rich career with patients who appreciate her skill and care.

				Hi Mr Tank a Lot,
I can not remember where I got them for sure but I can tell you they were not Horseshoe shaped, they were U shaped.
I heated them and bent them to the horseshoe shape.
I'll see what I can find.

 great minds think alike! Have some coming from a miniatures shop, going to do the same to those.
And great to see your family’s going well, my kids are still at primary, dreading boy friends turning up with my daughter, and my son coming home with a motor bike!!

Both my daughter and son have bigger motor bikes than I do, and both have boyfriends. My son is a paramedic on the ambulance, and my daughter is an overhead lines person.

				Russian KV series tow shackles tend to be more horseshoe shaped.
