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.

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 your children look like they will make you proud.

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. :crazy:

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