Thus, I'm in process = of building an Aluminum tow bar mostly identical to factory as = follows:

2' of = 3/4"x.065" 6061T6 (Spruce 03-36350-2) inner = tube

2' of 7/8"x.068" 6016T6 = (Spruce 03-36400-2) outer tube

= 2' of 3/16" SS Rod (Spruce 03-26600) 304CD is = non ferrous (locking pin)

6 = inches of 3/4 or 7/8 tube for handle, take your = pick.

This allows = .009 sliding clearance between the tubes.

= The final connection to ac is mostly a duplicate from scrap = al.

Final weight on old = scale is just over ONE POUND.

= I'll let you know if unwanted bending happens, = I'm betting NO!
