NOTE: this item ONLY fits Aviation Products tailwheels with a 1/2" axle bolt (typically this is the two-armed fork varieties and not the single-armed forks, which use a 5/8" axle).
This specially-machined bolt replaces the axle bolt of your tailwheel to create an attach point for a tow bar that won’t risk scratching up your tailwheel. Machined from stainless steel. Tow bar attach is 5/8″ diameter.

Bolt itself is fine, only small issue is that the end diameter is a perfect fit for the bogi bar tow bar except for the cotter pin that is installed to retain the removable machined nut. The cotter pin protrudes enough to prevent the bogi bar from sliding over the end. I put a smaller cotter pin in which works but plan to just safety wire the bolt end which should be neater.
