It would be very lengthly to explain how to make your own. Hopefully with these photos and video it will be clear enough to make yourself. No I won't make them. The hook is made from aluminum, but I already had it. If I was to make it from scratch, I'd use steel. Front prongs are aluminum too. I just bent them in a vice and sandwiched the wires of the basket with a piece on the opposite side. I filed small grooves in the aluminum to encapsulate the wire so they would not slide loose. The strap that I pop riveted the buckle to with steel rivets is stainless steel, 3/4" x 0.25 strips that I bought at the local hobby store. It is bent back on itself so that there is three layers between the wires that hold the buckle. That whole wrap job is also bent at the middle to provide the proper cam action for the buckle. See the side view. I peened down the rivets with a hammer a little bit to improve appearance. I hope the video works.Clayton (Bend) https://www.flickr.com/photos/fireman483/sets/72157650867713900/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | View on www.flickr.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | | |
