I thought that was part of the standard Tost kit.

Use a SERIOUS piece of steel channel!

I'm pretty familiar with steel channel shapes and I don't know of one I'd
use for this purpose. The Tost stainless steel 'envelope' does a great job
of protecting the 'dogbone' weaklinks. It's unlikely you will wear one out
in less than 5 - 10 years. Get the official one - they're worth the money.

On this subject, the Tost winch line hardware is very, very good and well
thought out. Use it for a while before trying to experiment.
