Wat the Hook Gon Be?

[team222badbrad]

Here is our hook. It is made out of 1/2 aluminum round stock. IT is just like a body clip.

The diameter of the opening in the hook is smaller than that of the bar therefore it snaps back around the bar attaching us to the bar.

(the only way to get us of the bar is upwards....)

Since we had the weight luxury, we went ahead and made our hooks from 1/4 inch thick 1 & 1/4 wide steel barstock. The hooks probably weigh in, at most, about a pound a piece and have 1/8 thick sheet latex glued on to improve grip. They are mounted at the mid-section of our plow/ball grabber with two or three 1/4-20 bolts

We made it by cutting the steel with a reciprocating saw, cold forging it with a hammer, and then radiused it around a pipe. (Yes it was hard to do)
