Schweizer 1-34 Tail Tie Down?

We had a NEW tail wheel bracket installed on that 1-34...there is no hole for a rope or bolt or anything...nobody has the heart to drill a hole into the new bracket...the mechanic didn't want to either... Cookie If you really don't want to drill a hole, how about a quick bit of outside the box thinking. Remove the axle bolt, take the tail wheel off, and put it in the cockpit. Put the axle bolt back in, and tie the rope around the axle bolt. No holes. Secured. May take an extra two minutes at the start and end of the day. Just a thought... Steve Leonard
