Hi All...
On tow trucks and maybe military towing vehicles, there are often
holes cut into steel plate that allows a chain end to be inserted and
dropped down into the slot to lock the chain.
Sometimes these are shaped like a crucifix with rounded ends on the
slot openings.
If you have a piece of equipment in your yard that has one of these
holes for a chain to lock into, could you take a little quickie
digital picture of it and email it to me? Even a sketch would be
good.
This is for a safety chain plate that I am building for use in
conjunction with a military medium towbar, and I want to see
alternative designs used on these chain keyholes.
I appreciate it!
