Spring joints make them. Carrolls made mine for about $25 each from memory with nuts and washers etc.

I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

Re: Bernie's u-bolt saga.
Think that’s a little tough George, the other side without a broken spring might be easier to remove? 

Travel safely George & enjoy your Aussie getaway, you’ve been spoilt with getaways this year.
