What are you talking about? You know exactly where to get a harness bar for
your TT. I designed one and had it fabricated! You have seen me use it in
my TT. When I mentioned it to you, you were not interested in it.
If you want the information to get one, contact Stable Energies at their
website http://www.stableenergies.com
