I'm still looking, any leads would be greatly appreciated http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif. If someone has a set and would be willing to let Plowman (Paul) use them to make additional sets I would even be willing to buy a set of those (and then Plowman could build lots of them).. Here is a thread showing The plowmans craftsmanship http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif.

Tommy they could be made very easily if you could borrow them for a templet. The tow bar is very simple also. I could bend some flat stock like that in a couple of hours. Do they bolt to the front of the bumper?
I never seen these before! Did they come with the yenko's or did you have to order them?

Jason, they bolted to the subframe and bumper of most cars. They were made by a company called NMW and used to flat tow cars before everyone could afford trailers and also were used alot at the track to pull the car back around to the staging lanes. I am not a fabricator so me building them would be a tough task..... Paul has shown his handiwork duplicating these on another thread http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif. Click the link below for some information on NMW.

With the help of my son, I am posting what Tommy and I came up with. The tab at the bottom is an original NMW unit. The ones above are copies I made. These will be going off to the powder coater. Tommy's were originally yellow, but I think thee will be silver.
