I have a medium towbar I put together from parts. I have the lunette side and both inner pieces without the MWO re-enforcing collars. The swing leg does have the re-enforcing collar. Anyone have a swing leg without that they want to swap?

Thanks in advance

Fwiw, Gimpy and I have a small stash of the Lunette side( piece with the lunnette only). I believe they all have the MWO collar.

I would not mind finding the inner pieces and the swing side, to assemble some extra bars.

If anyone needs one, or has the other parts, trades or whatever, Pm one of us.

I have the mwo kit if thats what he wants, but it sounds like he wants one with out.
I used to have one of those kits! Gave it away and I can't remember who I gave it to. LOL. You are right in assuming that I want this second bar without the MWO. BTW, this is not a for sale or want ad, its a swap ad!!!!!! I'm pretty sure that I still have one extra swing side with the MWO for you or Eric.

Nope, it's going to remain yours Sir. FWIW, my goal is to have a bar that can collapse all the way while still together. With the MWO kits it can't do that. It will also make it easier to store under the bed of the deuce Will Wagner style.

Mod work order is correct.

You know Kenny, you can mount the one leg backward and it folds all the way up like normal.

I took one of my MWO tow bars and nicly ground down the inside untill it laid nice, it is soooo over kill anyway, Absolutly no prob with its strengh, Did not have to grind all the way through the color also.....But I also like my tow bars with out more.....as long as they are not from the bad batch they are fine....And even then not all were bad in the bad batch....so it requires some comon sense.....

DH, What do you need for a lunette side with the MWO. Mine got a little tweaked towing a deuce with the Michelins when we had to tie off the wheel and I had to make a sharp turn in traffic.
