Hello
Does anyone have an A frame wooden block, together with the webbing strap which secures the A frame to the grill. Looking to buy/trade thanks.
regards Nick

Nick,

I've been around this hobby for about 20 years now. Hate to break it to ya but finding a Tandem Tow Bar original wood block is like finding hens teeth. Many years ago I made a batch of 20 of them modeled after a original, but not functional Tandem Tow Bar wood block that a friend loaned to me. No, I don't make them anymore. Lots and lots of wood shop work to make'em.

Goood luck..
