Towing Schweizer Gliders with tost rings?

I am wondering if anyone has experience both physical and legal in

I have thought about modifiying the moving part of the tow hitch
(making it narrower).
I have also thought about installing tost hitches on the glider.
We waste a lot of time switching the weak link end to end.

Some operators thread a tost link and a Schweizer ring on the same end
of the tow rope. I would think that would be a lot better than an
illegal /unapproved modification to the tow hook. I suppose there is
some small risk that the big Schweizer ring could foul something when
the tost rings were in use.
