Hey Sailor,

Those buggy hitches are sewn by dean jordan hisself.
Sized to fit the PL buggy only.

Loops at the ends of the long piece fit over the side rail posts.
The center loops go over and under the axle (outside loops over, inside loop under)
Axle bolt through them keeps the back buggy tight without binding.

I've been using this style of hitch for some 8 years now.
Works great!

Anything else you want to know?


Safen Up! Buggy On!

Morrie, have you got one of these?
