 So how much does a bolt with a loop welded on it cost?

Boy!

You've spent a lot more time on this than I had!  Mr. Ford charged me $28.00 for a shiny thing I hope I never need to use.  I'm happy with that price.  It would have cost me more on eBay (allowing for postage), and probably more still if I asked someone to make it for me (allowing for beer)

But I'm glad we've had some fun. 

Gotta think of a new topic now!
