1:16 scale t-shaped U.S. tank tow hooks
Where can I buy 1:16 scale plastic or pot metal U.S. tank tow hooks for the rear-end of my Tamiya M4 Sherman. I busted one off at Danville last weekend trying to kill The Commander. I might as well replace both so they match.

I probably have some laying around on a partial plastic's tree. I can take a look and throw them in the mail monday if I have any.

I thought I might have a couple, but it turns out that I don't. You might consider the option of buying the "E" parts tree from Japan - at least it'll give you the stock parts.

Yes the parts tree is probably my only option. Someone used to make the shackles in pot metal because I have a pair on the front. Can't remember who though.

Parts tree can be purchased cheaper from the Danville museum.
Or, you could go high-end: http://www.afv-model.com/4711shop/in...p?cPath=2_4_62
