The demonstrator had the same design I posted on page 4 of this thread except instead of the three top rivets it had the two top and the one below to form a triangle to anchor it and it was made of aluminum. I finished my first concept by using larger rivets, rounding the sheep hook, painting to match and adding a piece of heat shrink tubing for cushioning at the handle contact point.

Scott, I really liked seeing yours at Oshkosh. I forgot to ask -- what thickness stock did you use, and how did you form the bend?

I will order one when it is available.
Maybe if we indicate here those that intend to order we can help Van's to know how many to make in first batch.

When someone gets one done, would they post a photo please - struggling to 'see' the application.

We're in build and will incorporate when we get there.
