    It was something like that Bob, pretty sure. I'll be at the shop tonight and will shoot some pictures and take some measurements. I think it took me all of an hour to fab up mine, it was that simple.

    I took three pictures for you but for some reason my computer is screwing up and I can only download one. But it shows pretty much all there is to see. The chrome nut is simply capping an all thread rod that I cut so that only a bit hung out on each side. As I tightened the two nuts it drew the horns in, locking in the spreader bar.

    I measured the diameter of the bar, it is 1.5 inches OD, and that seems pretty proportional to the rest of the frame. Hope this info helps out.
