    Default Lost Trailering Bracket

    The trailering Bracket for my 1987 Force 125 is missing.

    Anyone see any reason why I couldn’t just use a piece of steel rod with pins in either end instead of the standard bracket that comes with it?

    Or maybe a better idea for a home made replacement?

    or even where I could get a "inexpensive" original replacement?

    Thanks

    I bought one for my 85 HP (same part number). I am very impressed with the quality and the price.
