Default RE: Scratch built tow cables?

ORIGINAL: mariodx3

Has anyone made a tow hook on there tank that you tow any thing with? what are you towing like a cannon or cargo some thing like that.....Dose anyone have pics pulling some thing with your tanks?????
Well, after trying to drill two of the stock plastic tow shackles with too large a drill bit(not drilling pilot holes) and shattering them, they are just for show at the moment. I had to glue them back together, so they won't take to much force!

Jstrat,
Did you see any of the Hillman thimbles while at Ace? I picked a few up even though they were a bit large. They should work good with your setup! I might just make a few like yours, since I now have about 90ft of cable to play with. They look a lot sturdier than my faked plastic ones. [8D]
