Hitch for two PL buggies
I ended up owning two buggies (PL Comp XR+ and PL bigfoot) and I'm thinking of making a hitch between the two in order to be able to carry a
passenger. Does anybody have close-up pictures of a hitch designed for this purpose... or some sketches?

Off topic, I miss these newsletters and hopefully we can start again under NAPKA.
Morrie can we post all the old newsletter for review on the site if it's not too much trouble. Good reads.
