Good idea here. I'm current work on a couple of Tigers, and this would definitely let me upgrade. Thanks for sharing

Don't forget there were two or three different ways to mount that cable, depending on the period.

thank's for the replys
here's another wip, i know one of the brackets is not in the right place i'll move it soon. i'm very pleased with my little jig i think i will take it into work tomorrow and add some more tooling holes so i can fabricate the towing cables on it as well.
