Again I am jabbing not dragging the brakes on. Going to pull the hubs now and have a look see.
The tools are easy to make. Cut the basic shapes as shown in the manual. Use a digital caliper to mark the holes to their correct distance and center punch to mark the hole. Driill them out and weld in the appropriate size clevis pins.

I made my first set over 20 years ago, and was just using them a few weeks ago. Best bet is to make two sets. It will save you a couple climbs into the carrier and under the rear plate during set up.
