Here is a photo of how I extended the tow pins and used chrome hex bolts. I also
used a helicoil for the attachment threads

I took the Bogart tow bar, cut off the female pickup ends, and welded on pi
n tabs that would go inside the allen bolts.=C2- That way no other tow ba
r will work.=C2- Disadvantage = no other tow bar will work.=C2- Advan
tage = the holes required in the wheel pants are smaller, and no one else
will try and use their tow bar to move my plane.=C2- If I trust them to
move it, I will leave mine with the plane.=C2- 6.5 years, 800 hours, no p
roblem.
