Mark, Just wondering why you have this on your Mutt ? Even in the old days, the barb wire still punctured the tires. and got caught up in the drive train. LOOKS cool though !! Cheers

I don't, it's a novelty, just keeping the info, as 1 of these days might not be around
Also a another place to hang my coat/stuff, plus it would be an eye catcher while driving down the street!

Mark,
wrap some foam pipe-wrap around the projecting part of the wire-cutter. Once you've accidentally walked past it in the dark, you'll understand why. I still have the scars from mine.

Kind regards....

It wasn't the barbed wire that was the issue, it was the piano wire stretched across the road at chest to neck height. Killed a lot of people in Jeeps and motorcycles.

I don't have it on my mutt, not gonna put it on my mutt, just remembered it, wanted to refresh my memory of it.
Also it would be eye catching thing when driving down the street as well as a conversation starter.

Notch it on both sides and you'd also have a convenient place to hang your clothes.
