Yea, i thought they were forged too. I dont think cast would hold up to abuse. I made a print of the 71 style (no bend) and was gonna set one up on our verticle machining center, but havent had the time. Machine out the shape and then a couple hours with the dynafile, and wala...a stainless steel tow hook!
