Step 2: Make the Hooks

made this out of 25mm 6mm flat bar, shock absorbers and a hardened hook from scaffolding stuff which I altered

cut the eyes off the left and right hand threaded rods and welded them to a 1/2" ratchet I had lying about.

Step 4: The Hooked End

I cut the centre turner in half and welded 12mm rod to the ends for the flatbar to pivot on
