    Depending in how much "V" you want in it you will probably have to build your own. Thats what I did to get what I wanted...

    I bet most A spreader bars, even straight, are custom made. The cups inside the front horns don’t make for easy mounting of a bar.

  10. V'd spreaders are for keeping the tow rope centered.

    The original Gennie Gennie Shifter 1988 Catalog.jpg Shifter did, I don't think they're still available.

    Mine was made by the Deuce Factory (Fjastad boys), but it is no longer in business.
    You might check with the Deuce Frame Company (Carl Fjastad).

    You can build a jig to hold the angle you want , fit the point first then weld up .
    Then you can center and cut your sides .
    it might come out straight -but would be a fun project either way lol

    Fairly easy to fabricate if you can't find one.
